Award Information & Disbursement

  • Recipients accept all responsibility for any impact a Foundation scholarship award may have on their financial aid package. Cascadia's Student Financial Services Office will be informed of all awards.
  • Many scholarships are awarded based on criteria other than financial need, therefore scholarships are available for students who are not eligible for federal assistance.
  • Award recipients will provide their disbursement preferences at the time they accept their scholarship. Generally, award disbursements begin the first quarter and may be made in lump sum or divided between quarters. Other options are available.
  • Scholarship funds are released to student accounts after the last day to drop classes (10th day) – awards may not be visible in your student account before processing.
