Staying focused on school when housing is an issue can make a student’s grades flounder if they are worrying about housing.
Pierce is making it possible for financially struggling students to gain a hand up through their Pierce College Foundation Housing Scholarship.
The Foundation is offering two scholarships made possible by a generous donor. Both awards include utilities and maintenance.
The first scholarship is a 1,900 square foot four bedroom house a few blocks from the Fort Steilacoom campus in the Steilacoom School District.
The other scholarship is a 900 square foot two bedroom condominium a ½ mile from the Steilacoom Library.
Applications are due July 26, 2012.
To obtain more information on the application process, go to Pierce College Foundation Housing Scholarship.
