Don't miss the opportunity to apply for two new STEM education scholarships that are available to Skagit students through the Washington State Opportunity Scholarship (WSOS) initiative and Skagit Valley College!
"These are huge opportunities for Skagit students to pursue high demand careers at our community and technical colleges," said Michelle Judson, Director of the Skagit STEM Network. "The scholarship are a tremendous compliment to the WSOS spring program, which allows low- and middle-income students to pursue high-demand science, technology engineering, math or health care degrees at eligible Washington state colleges and universities."
Career and Technical Scholarships
The new WSOS Career and Technical Scholarship (CTS) supports Washington students on their path to high-demand trade, health care and STEM occupations.
To be eligible, scholars must enroll in an approved program, such as welding, nursing or IT, at one of Washington's 34 community and technical colleges - including Skagit Valley College! Scholars are eligible to receive $1,500 each quarter for the duration of their program, as well as support services. The fall 2019 application is now open and will close July 12, 2019.
WSOS accepts applications for the CTS three times each academic year. Approximately half of the scholarships are awarded for the fall, with the other half awarded between the winter and spring.

Skagit Valley STEM Scholarships
Skagit Valley College wants to pay you for a career in STEM!
The new Cardinal STEM Scholars’ Program will provide students with unmet costs of up to $5,700 per year, thanks to a $650,000 grant from the National Science Foundation. This allows students to attend the College full-time and earn a transfer degree in science, technology, engineering and math.
The Cardinal STEM Scholars Program will help cover the cost of attendance at SVC not covered by financial aid. It will also provide a STEM Fellowship experience including faculty mentoring, peer support and STEM experiences.
The program will provide support for two years, but students must reapply each year.
Application Deadline for the Fall 2019 Cardinal STEM Scholars Program is July 15, 2019.
Please contact Kristen.Hoffbuhr@skagit.edu or CSSPfellowship@skagit.edu for more information.
