WWCC Warrior Pledge deadline extended to August 22

WALLA WALLA – Walla Walla Community College (WWCC) continues to find new ways to make college possible for residents.

A first-year pilot of the new Warrior Pledge will cover tuition and other educational expenses for as many as 50 students this fall—from the start of their studies through graduation.

Residents of Walla Walla, Columbia, Garfield, and Asotin counties in Washington; Umatilla County in Oregon; and Nez Perce County in Idaho are eligible for the program. The Warrior Pledge is available to all students who are new to WWCC.

“We know through data and experience that access to higher education improves the lives of individuals, their families and entire communities,” WWCC President Chad Hickox said. “That’s why we’re making the Warrior Pledge available to new students pursuing all areas of study, including workforce training and associate degrees.”

Individuals wishing to restart their education and undocumented students are also encouraged to check out the Warrior Pledge, as it provides assistance that may not otherwise be available through state and other financial aid programs. Warrior Pledge scholarships do not need to be paid back.

Find out more by submitting your contact information by August 22 via a new, designated webpage: wwcc.edu/warriorpledge. Someone from the college will reach out to determine your eligibility and help you through the application process.
