Foundation
Scholarships
If money is standing between you and a course at Chemeketa, the college's foundation has scholarships available to help overcome that barrier.
Because of a generous challenge grant from the James and Marion Miller Foundation in Portland, Chemeketa students will have an additional $300,000 available in scholarships funds for the 2009-2010 academic year.
The $150,000 Miller grant matched the gifts of local donors who contributed an additional $150,000 to the many different scholarship funds offered by the Chemeketa Foundation. Employees of Chemeketa gave over $75,000 to help meet the challenge, and community donors gave an additional $75,000.
