The Blinn College Washington County Scholarship provides up to $1,000 in tuition support for in-district students for up to one academic year. This scholarship has no need requirements and disburses on a “last-dollar basis,” meaning that scholarship funds will be applied toward eligible students’ tuition costs after all other financial aid awards have been applied toward their balance. Scholarship funding covers up to 12 credit hours per semester (as well as non-credit classes) and is available for up to one year after students have graduated high school or earned their high school equivalency.
The scholarship is made possible with the support of the Blinn College Foundation.
