Scholarships
Each scholarship is an investment in a student’s potential. 
“Thank you so much for this wonderful opportunity. I will be the first person in my family to go to college, and your support means more than words can say. Without members of the community like you, students like me would not dare to dream.” – Hannah Truong, 2013 Bellingham Scholarship Recipient & National Volunteer Student of the Year
