TRIO Program

SCHOLARSHIPS

WCCCD holds a scholarship competition every spring. Contact Ms. Yolanda Russell for deadline information and other details.

We encourage you to get a head start on the competition by preparing a letter outlining your:

1) Career and life goals

2) Plans to give back to the community

3) Past community service involvement

4) Reason why this scholarship will help you

Plan to bring this letter to the orientation which is being planned for some time in February.

You also should begin searching for other scholarship opportunities.
