About
The Spokane Community College Science Scholars program was a five-year grant from the National Science Foundation (NSF Award 1833712). Students enrolled in the program received scholarships, academic support, mentoring, and other holistic support for the duration of their degree at SCC. The program is scheduled for completion in 2024, so no new students are being accepted at this time. For more information, please contact SCC Chemistry Instructor and grant facilitator Jaye Hopkins at Jaye.Hopkins@scc.spokane.edu.
To qualify for the SCC Science Scholars program, students must:
-
Have financial need as determined by the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) form and SCC Financial Aid office. Financial need is defined as a Cost of Attendance (COA) that exceeds the Estimated Family Contribution (EFC). Students that do not meet this definition will not be accepted to the program.
-
Be enrolling at SCC with plans to complete a transfer degree (AA-DTA, AS-T, etc.) followed by a biology, chemistry or geology bachelor's degree. Other degrees -- including computer science, nursing, dental hygiene and pre-medicine — do not qualify for this program.
