Achieve your dreams.

Scholarship applications for the 2025-2026 academic year will be open January 31 through March 31, 2025!

Thanks to  our generous donors and community partners, there are hundreds of scholarships available through the Olympic College Foundation each year. That means there are hundreds of ways to achieve your dreams.

There are two scholarship award cycles each year. One in Spring to provide funding for the following academic year, and one in Fall, to provide funding for Winter and Spring quarters of the current year. The bulk of scholarships are open for applications during the Spring Award Cycle. The Fall Award Cycle typically has several scholarship opportunities for nursing students or students enrolled in health sciences programs. However there are typically other opportunities available in fall as well.

To find out more about scholarship cycles, view the open scholarships, and apply please visit olympic.awardspring.com.

OC Foundation Second Chance Scholarship

An opportunity for previously incarcerated individuals.

The Second Chance Scholarship is a new scholarship opportunity at Olympic College Foundation. Established by an anonymous donor, the scholarship is intended to reduce barriers to access and attainment of higher education for students with conviction and incarceration records, provide support to previously incarcerated students to help lower recidivism rates, and promote equity and inclusion at Olympic College.

Each academic year, there will be 5 scholarship award opportunities, outlined as follows:

  • Two $2,000 scholarships for new incoming students to Olympic College
  • Two $3,000 scholarships for students who have successfully completed a minimum of 24 credits at Olympic College
  • One $5,000 scholarship for students who have successfully completed a minimum of 36 credits at Olympic College

Applications are accepted on a rolling basis, with new applications reviewed two weeks after the start of each quarter.

Please note, this scholarship has a different application process than the OC Foundation standard process through AwardSpring. To apply for this scholarship, students should fill out this online form.
