Paying for College

Annual SWOCC Foundation Scholarships

The Southwestern Foundation automatically considers all students who apply for scholarships. Our scholarship application season runs January 1 through March 1.

Each year, the Foundation offers more than 100 scholarships for students attending or planning to attend Southwestern. What are the steps to take to apply for scholarships?

1. Apply for Admission to SWOCC.

2. Consider completing your FAFSA. Although this is not required to apply for SWOCC Foundation scholarships, it is HIGHLY RECOMMENDED. Completing this information will help ensure you qualify for as many scholarships as possible. The Free Application for Federal Student Aid application opens Oct. 1 every year. This is required to be considered for federal and state aid in Oregon.

3. Apply for our scholarships between January 1 and March 1. Check back on this page at that time for specific directions.
