Volunteer

WWCC Foundation scholarship applications are reviewed and scored by volunteers. Volunteer reviewers are critical to the scholarship awarding process as they ensure that each of the hundreds of applications received is reviewed thoughtfully.

The reviewing and scoring process is simple and done online so can be done from anywhere. Volunteers generally spend about 3-4 hours total reviewing scholarship applications and that time commitment can be adjusted to fit your schedule. Each application receives multiple reviews and the final score is an average from these reviews.

Application reviewing takes place in early March and at the end of July. Training and support are provided.

If you might be interested in reviewing scholarship applications, we would love to hear from you! Please contact Sonja Aikens, Scholarship Coordinator, at 509.527.1867 or sonja.aikens@wwcc.edu to learn more.

“I was very thankful to receive notification of this scholarship award. I am truly honored and overjoyed to be selected. This was my first time applying for a scholarship and it could not come at a better time. The complications and financial stress due to covid-19 have been very hard for everyone but having this extra funding will help me to continue towards my goal with less financial stress.”

“First and foremost, I want to send you my greatest thank you and appreciation. Being a recipient of the WWCC Foundation scholarship is a great honor not only to me, but to my family as well. The time that I have been furthering my education has been tough for me. I have not been able to receive financial aid which means my tuition is paid out of pocket. This scholarship is truly a blessing to me. I feel proud and accomplished to be able to receive some extra help.”
