With tuition costs rising, students rely on financial aid and scholarships to help fund their education. Highline Public School seniors are invited to apply for scholarships in their senior year of high school to help reduce the cost of post-secondary education.
Scholarships are made possible by gifts made to the Foundation. Each donor helps to set the criteria for how students will be selected for the scholarship they fund. The one common factor to all Highline Schools Foundation scholarships is need. All scholarship applications are screened for need based on the Washington State DSHS Median Income Chart.
Scholarships range from a $1,000 one-time scholarship to a $24,000 scholarship paid out at $6,000 per year for four years. All scholarships are paid directly to the educational institution and can be used for tuition, on-campus housing, books, and fees.
Students are considered for all Foundation scholarships by filling out one application. The application is now available and is due by March 31, 2021.
