EDUCATIONAL SUPPLIES YEAR 1 AWARD
Approved Promise Scholars can qualify* for an Educational Supplies Award in their first year (2024-25) by completing:

• WSCC's online orientation and

• an in-person summer orientation event on WSCC's campus before August 1, 2024 (There will be two offered)​

• Registration for 12 or more credits & FAFSA Completion by August 1, for fall semester; Maintaining full-time status is required to keep the full award.

Two "Ramp It Up" sessions will be offered in July 2024, and sign-up in advance is required. Once students complete online orientation, information about signing up for a session will be emailed to them.  Awards will be distributed once per academic year.  Promise Scholars who attend WSCC for a second year (fall/winter) will have the option to qualify for a second award.  Award amounts may vary by year. Be sure to enroll in First Year Seminar when signing up for fall classes so that you have the option to qualify for the returning year award. 
 

*Students who complete online orientation but are unable to attend an in-person summer info session can complete the "alternative qualification form" for their year 1 award. Please note: most students will need to attend "Ramp It Up, as only early college students meet alternative qualifications. You can find the form by clicking HERE.*

For the incoming class in fall 2024, the award will be available to use in mid-August at the WSCC online bookstore. 

(Note that after the drop period, remaining Educational Award funds will be distributed with WSCC's financial aid refund checks to students to cover any remaining educational supplies or educational supplies costs for winter semester).
