Notifications emailed April 2, 2013



How Will I Know if I Receive a Scholarship?
Once scholarships are awarded, you will receive a letter in the mail to inform you of the status of your application. If you are awarded with a scholarship all the details of the amount and which scholarship you were awarded will be listed in the letter.



GED Test Fee Scholarships
If you are enrolled in a Renton Technical College GED preparation program, there are funds available to help cover your GED test fees. You must apply for funding for each test. The Foundation will only support one test—retests are at your own expense. Please fill out a Test Fee Scholarship Form and submit it to your teacher. You will receive an email notification if your request has been approved. Please allow at least two business days for processing.

"There are no words to describe how excited I was to learn that I had been selected as a scholarship recipient. This money will not only help me to buy the tools and software to fix my computer but it also motivates me to focus and study harder in school because it tells me that there are people willing to help and support students who are really in need."
