Share the news in your community

 

NEW THIS YEAR! Help us spread the word about additional

scholarship dollars and supports available for students

from rural communities!

 

WSOS is excited to launch the Rural Jobs Initiative of the Career and Technical Scholarship. The inaugural cohort of Rural Jobs recipients will be selected from those Scholars accepted into the CTS program in June. This initiative will allow more scholarship dollars to go directly into the hands of rural students, particularly those who live furthest from the nearest community or technical college. 

 

Eligibility for the Rural Jobs Initiative:

  • Be a resident of a rural county (all counties in Washington are considered rural EXCEPT King, Pierce, Snohomish, Kitsap, Thurston, Clark, Benton and Spokane) or have graduated from a high school in a school district of fewer than 2,000 enrolled students.
  • Be a resident student eligible for in-state tuition.
  • Enroll at a community and technical college located in a rural county, including:
  • Bellingham Technical College
  • Big Bend Community College
  • Centralia College
  • Columbia Basin College
  • Grays Harbor College
  • Lower Columbia College
  • Olympic College* (Shelton campus only)
  • Peninsula College
  • Skagit Valley College
  • Walla Walla Community College
  • Wenatchee Valley College
  • Whatcom Community College
  • Yakima Valley College.
  • Enroll in an eligible program that leads to a high-demand job in your community.
  • Have a family income that does not exceed 70% of Washington state's median family income adjusted for family size.

 

Washington communities need scholarships

like ours more than ever.

 

We support Washington residents of any age who are out of work or looking to re-skill, in addition to high school seniors looking to continue their education this fall. We're counting on you to reach them! Thank you for all you do!

 

P.S. Don't forget to check out our new Promotional Toolkit to promote both CTS and the Rural Jobs Initiative. The toolkit will make it easy for champions like you to spread the word so that we can reach eligible applicants in every corner of Washington state.
