STCU Educational Scholarship

An endowed scholarship has been created in partnership with STCU to assist women and children in continuing their education in post secondary college courses. Each year two scholarships will be granted; one to a Columbia Basin College student as well as one to a Washington State University Tri-Cities student. Partnerships with each of these organizations have been crucial to maximize these funds for the benefit of each annual scholarship recipient.

Thank you STCU, Columbia Basin College – President, Dr. Rebekah Woods, and Washington State University Tri-Cities – President, Chancellor Sandra Haynes
