Careers That Work!

The Northwest Career Colleges Federation thanks all of the high schools and member colleges that participated in the 2009 Careers That Work! scholarship program. For the 2009 graduating class, 520+ students are on the path to changing their lives and meeting career goals. Congratulations!

About the Scholarship

The Careers That Work! program makes available to every high school in Oregon, Washington and Idaho (public and private) five $1000 tuition scholarships to award to students graduating in 2010.

Graduating students awarded the Careers That Work! Scholarship receive tuition assistance to pursue an education at a participating private career college in the Northwest. The Program, launched in 1999 to Washington high schools, was expanded in 2008 to Oregon and Idaho. Without the restriction of state borders students are able to select the private career college that meets their career goals.

Scholarship recipients are identified and awarded by the high school. Scholarships are tentative, pending the student's acceptance for admission to the college and commencement of study. If accepted, the scholarship will be credited to the student's tuition, generally in equal disbursements during their first academic year, in accordance with the college's scholarship award policy. Students should talk with their college to determine when their scholarship will be applied.

2010 Scholarships

The 2010 Careers That Work! scholarship may be awarded effective October 1, 2009, for any student graduating with the 2010 class.

All awards must be submitted online by the high school. Awards submitted without complete information will be rejected until a complete award record is received.

Careers That Work! scholarship program information, scholarship certificates, and a catalog of participating institutions will be mailed to each high school in this winter to the attention of "Scholarship Director." Counselors making awards prior to January should contact the NWCCF for a copy of the scholarship certificate. All awarded students are encouraged to make contact with the college immediately upon receiving notice of award. The student is advised to bring the scholarship certificate when arriving at the college.
