The application period for Columbia Gorge Community College Foundation scholarships for fall has been moved up. Applications are being taken now, with awards to be made in May. CGCC Foundation Manager Steph Hoppe says they used to make the awards just a couple of weeks before school started, but after talking to students and staff decided an earlier process would give students a better chance to plan for what to expect for financial support. Scholarship application information is available on line at cgcc.edu.
