Nearly $175,000 was awarded recently to 72 students who are recipients of the E.K. and Lillian F. Bishop Scholarships, earmarked for students in their third and fourth years of undergraduate degree programs, as well as those pursuing graduate degrees.
Since Grays Harbor College now offers bachelor of applied science degrees in three fields, three GHC students qualified for Bishop scholarships as well.
The Grays Harbor College Foundation administers the Bishop Scholarships and according to the foundation’s Executive Director Lisa J. Smith, “We hope to increase the number of GHC recipients in the years to come.”
Of the total $174,250 awarded, eight graduate students received a total of $35,000, while the remaining $139,250 was awarded to 64 college students in their third and fourth years. Applications for Bishop Scholarships will be available online, through the GH College Foundation website in early June 2018.
Starting Aug. 10, the Grays Harbor College Foundation will be accepting applications for scholarships to be used at GHC which will be awarded this fall. Visit www.ghc.edu/foundation for more information.
