Edmonds College awarding $1,000 scholarships to 10 vaccinated students

Edmonds College will award $1,000 scholarships on July 26 to 10 students who have been vaccinated against COVID-19. The awards are part of Washington state’s “Shot of a Lifetime” vaccination incentive program. 

It’s Worth a Shot scholarship campaign will launch July 16, 2021.

Scholarship recipients will be chosen through a random drawing. No sign up is necessary — students will automatically be entered into the drawing if they:

• have not graduated,
• were enrolled spring 2021 and completed at least six credits,
• were a Washington resident spring 2021, and
• are registered for fall 2021 by July 26.

Scholarship recipients will be notified by email and phone July 27-28. To accept the scholarships, students must provide proof that they have received at least one dose of a COVID-19 vaccine.

Acceptance of a scholarship may affect a student’s eligibility for and calculated amounts of federal financial aid and public assistance.

Edmonds College will have online, hybrid, and face-to-face options fall 2021. COVID-19 vaccinations are required for all students, faculty, and staff before returning to face-to-face classes on campus, though exemptions will be allowed for health, religious, or philosophical reasons.
