PORT ANGELES — Beginning Tuesday, the Peninsula College Foundation will offer more than $100,000 in scholarships to students attending Peninsula College for the 2019-20 school year.
Scholarships are available in the areas of nursing and medical assisting; automotive technology, welding and other vocational programs; science; education; language arts; music; business administration; students with financial need; scholarships for area tribal students; and more.
Application deadlines vary, with the majority due April 22.
Applicants are advised to check each scholarship’s deadline.
To apply for Peninsula College Foundation scholarships, follow these steps:
• Visit www.theWash Board.org.
• Create a login and a personal profile.
• Enter “Peninsula College” in the search toolbar to review the list of all available PC and PC Foundation scholarships for the 2019-20 school year.
• Application limit: There is no limit to the number an individual can apply for.
While the majority of Foundation scholarships will open for applications Tuesday, college officials urge interested students to check back often, as additional scholarships may become available.
