“By receiving a scholarship, I was
able to finish school. It gave me more
self-esteem and confidence than
anything else that has happened in
my life. It made all the difference in
the world to me,” said Marilyn
Ferebee, student and scholarship
recipient
The scholarship deadline is
March 12, 5 p.m. It is also recom
mended that students complete the
free Application for Federal Student
Aid. A completed scholarship ap
plication packet should include the
Clackamas scholarship application,
the student's unofficial transcript, at
least two letters of recommendation
and a personal statement. By com
pleting the application process, stu
dents are automatically considered
for all Clackamas scholarships for
which they are eligible.
Bello emphasizes how important
the scholarship program is and in
vites all students to participate by
filling out an application.
“Since the program was estab
lished in the late 1980’s, at least 1500
students have been awarded some
type of Clackamas scholarship. The
program is important because it is a
vital part of what makes our college
successful,” explained Bello.
