North Thurston Education Foundation is accepting scholarship applications through March 25.
This year, North Thurston Education Foundation will provide 35 scholarships to help graduating seniors from North Thurston Public Schools finance their post-high school education, beginning the year after graduation.
Scholarships are available for students pursuing education at community colleges, vocational or technical schools, or four-year colleges and universities.
Applicants need to fill out only one application and will be considered for all scholarships for which they qualify.
Check the foundation’s website at https://ntef.org/ and look at the list of scholarships offered for more details. While many scholarships are based on financial need, some are merit-based. Awards range from $1,500 to full tuition, with most being one-year grants.
A few scholarships are renewable for up to four years with good academic progress.
For more information or help with applying, see your College & Career Center Specialist or counselor:
Incorporated in 1989, the North Thurston Education Foundation is an independent, tax exempt non-profit volunteer organization that raises funds to eliminate financial barriers to student success among North Thurston students from low-income families.
In addition to the scholarship program, the foundation provides staff at each district school with student assistance funds that can be used for student needs that can’t be met with public funds; provides financial help to the district’s more than one thousand homeless students; and makes grants to teachers for special classroom projects.
