Create a new named scholarship or memorial/tribute fund.
Build a legacy while creating a better future for our students and our community. Establish a new scholarship based on your interests or those of a special loved one.
- Annual scholarships – Gifts made on an annual basis are paid out directly to the scholarship recipient’s
account to cover tuition, fees, books, or other expenses you designate.
- Endowed scholarships – With a gift of $25,000 or more, you can provide invaluable support for students in perpetuity. The fund’s principal is permanently invested and the interest is used each year to fund the scholarship.
- Memorial/tribute funds – Create a named fund to which you, your family, and friends can make gifts in honor
or memory of a loved one. You may designate proceeds to be used for specific programs
or areas of student aid that align with the interests, passions, or experiences of
the person(s) being honored.

Recognizing Faculty Contributions
The Excellence in Teaching, Learning, and Service Award was created to recognize the contributions of individuals or groups of faculty who have made exceptional contributions to the college's mission and vision in one or more categories:
- Excellence in primary assignment
- Service to students
- Service to profession
- Professional contributions to college and community
History of the Award
In 2005, Cascadia College, the Cascadia College Federation of Teachers, and the Cascadia College Foundation worked together to create this award and establish an endowed fund to support it. In addition to a plaque, recipients are awarded $1,000 to defray additional costs associated with their work at Cascadia.
Awards are presented during Year End Celebration activities.
How to Nominate
Any member of the Cascadia community — students, faculty, administrators, staff, or trustees — may nominate faculty for the award. To be eligible, nominated faculty must have completed the equivalent of 15 credits of teaching at Cascadia College.
