WEED – The College of the Siskiyous Foundation announces scholarship applications for 2010/2011 are now available. Siskiyou County high school seniors who plan to attend COS during the 2010/2011 year are encouraged to apply for a Foundation Scholarship. In addition a number of scholarships for continuing COS students are also available from the COS Foundation.

As part of its commitment to student success, the COS Foundation annually awards scholarships to students who have a need for financial assistance. While each student’s background is indeed different, they share the common theme of having a desire to begin, or continue, their education.  Scholarships are available to graduating high school seniors planning to enter COS in the fall following high school graduation, single parents striving for self-sufficiency, young students supporting themselves while continuing their education, and continuing COS students.  Scholarships range from $100 to $3,000.

All students are encouraged to apply.  Students interested in applying for a scholarship may download an application from the College Foundation’s website at www.siskiyous.edu/publicrelations/foundation/scholarships.htm Applications must be completed and returned with required school transcripts and letters of recommendation to the Foundation Office by 4:00 pm, Monday, March 15.  Scholarship applications are also available from each Siskiyou County High School, Family Resource Centers, the Weed Campus Foundation Office and the Financial Aid Office, or the Yreka Campus.
