^Scholarships

If money is standing between you and a course at Chemeketa, the college's foundation has scholarships available to help overcome that barrier.

Application Information Applications for Fall term: Applications will be available in the month of August. Date TBA Applications for the 2008-2009 academic year: No longer accepted. Closed April 11, 2008. Application Process: Interested students will complete one application form and they will be considered for every scholarship for which they are eligible. Programs have different academic requirements, but students with 2.0 grade averages and greater generally qualify.

Scholarship Workshops

Finances shouldn’t prevent anyone from enrolling in college. That’s why the Chemeketa Community College Foundation will host a couple of informational scholarship workshops during openings.

One workshop will present an overview of the scholarships available from the Chemeketa Foundation and the scholarship application process.

Another will be an essay-writing workshop presented by Roger Sauer, a Chemeketa English instructor, to assist participants in crafting essays for scholarship applications. Participants are urged to write a draft essay prior to the workshop.

The Chemeketa Foundation offers over 90 scholarships and awards over $280,000 annually.

Both workshops will be held on the Chemeketa Salem campus in Building 2, Room 212. For more information, contact Otilia Morales at oflores@chemeketa.edu or 503.399.6990.
