Barlow’s business offices,
not excluded from summer
construction, were reconfig
ured in hopes of making a
more efficient workspace.
Storage was improved and
furniture replaced;
Several other buildings on
campus received upgrades
in the form of carpet and
floor covering replacements
to address safety and appear
ance concerns.
Construction will con
tinue on several projects,
including automotive area
upgrades, ADA-accessible
picnic tables and environ-
mentally-friendly pave
ment walkways between
Randall Hall and the Art
Center.
Work is just beginning
on the automotive area,
however the picnic tables
and walkway are antici
pated to be finished Winter
Term or earlier.
In addition, a student of any
major is eligible for the Juan
Young Scholarship for $1000,
as well as the $250 Ruth Allen
Nursing Uniform Scholarship,
to be used in the purchase of a
uniform.
If a student has not already
filled out a 2006/2007 FAFSA,
he or she must fill one out as
soon as possible in order to
receive financial aid. Applying
also requires a typed 500-word
essay, two to three letters of
recommendation and a current
unofficial transcript.
A more complete list of the
requirements on the application
is available in the Rodger Rook
Hall lobby and on-line at http://
www.clackamas.edu/inside.asp
?prev+2104&content+2104-03.
Fall open enrollment begins
Oct. 16, and the deadline for
the application is Mon., Nov.

“Every Wednesday from 3
p.m. to 4:30 p.m., there is a
financial aid/scholarship infor
mation session in RR117,” said
Darcie Iven, scholarship coor
dinator and financial aid advi
sor. “In these sessions, students
can ask questions and get help
with their applications.”
The Clackamas Scholarship
Committee will score all appli
cations according to the criteria
of the specific scholarship and
merit of the. student’s submis
sion.
The recipients of these schol
arships will receive their awards
in time for Winter Term.
“Sometimes it’s the depart
ments themselves that choose
the recipients,” said Iven.
“For instance, the Horticulture
department chooses the recipi
ent for Horticulture Club
Scholarship.”
The bulk of the scholarships
awarded to the Clackamas stu
dents are generated from cor
porate donations and affluent
individuals who wish to give
a large sum of money to the
college.
“Many times, the money
comes from individuals like
you and me,” said Iven, refer
ring to the annual staff drive
running this week until Oct.
13.
Iven is available to answer
any questions and can be
reached at 503-657-6958
