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.

The Chemeketa Community College Foundation administers several scholarship programs for Chemeketa students. Working with the college Financial Aid office, the foundation has prepared a universal scholarship application form which will simplify the process for students and staff. Interested students will complete one application form and they will be considered for every scholarship for which they are eligible.

Straight A's are not a requirement for the foundation's scholarships. Programs have different academic requirements, but students with 2.0 grade averages and greater generally will qualify. Selection committees place greater emphasis on financial need and prospects for success than on prior academic performance.

Applications for spring term are available on January 29 - February 9, 2007, and March 5, - April 6, 2007 for the 2007-2008 academic year. Incomplete applications will be automatically disqualified. The application needs to be turned into the Foundation Office, Bldg. 2, Rm 208 or mailed to:

Foundation Office 2/208
Chemeketa Community College,
PO Box 14007
Salem, OR 97309-7070
