New program covers tuition, books, supplies for local students who are new to the college
WALLA WALLA–Walla Walla Community College (WWCC) continues to find new ways to make college possible for local residents.
A first-year pilot of the new Warrior Pledge will cover tuition and other educational expenses for as many as 50 students this fall—from the start of their studies through graduation.
You are eligible to participate if you live in Walla Walla, Columbia, Garfield or Asotin counties in Washington; Umatilla County, Oregon; or Nez Perce County, Idaho. The Warrior Pledge is available to all students who are new to WWCC.
“We know through data and experience that access to higher education improves the lives of individuals, their families and entire communities,” WWCC President Chad Hickox said. “That’s why we’re making the Warrior Pledge available to new students pursuing all areas of study, including workforce training and associate degrees.”
Individuals wishing to restart their education and undocumented students are also encouraged visit the Warrior Pledge, as it provides assistance that may not otherwise be available through state and other financial aid programs. Warrior Pledge scholarships do not need to be paid back.
Submit your contact information by August 22 at wwcc.edu/warriorpledge. Someone from the college contact you to determine your eligibility and help with the application process.
