The Walla Walla-Columbia School Retirees Association is proud to announce scholarship opportunities for students graduating from a Walla Walla or Columbia County school who intend to become a teacher.

Two $2,000 scholarships will be granted to prospective teachers and/or candidates in other school related fields, or to those who will student-teach or complete an internship in an educational setting to meet requirements for initial certification.

Along with the county requirement, students must also participate in a student-teaching internship between September 2020 and June 2021.

An online application is available on the Blue Mountain Community Foundation website, at http://www.bluemountainfoundation.org/grants-scholarships. Locate the Walla Walla Columbia School Retirees application on the scholarship tab. The application deadline is March 1, 2020.
