The Columbia Gorge Community College Foundation will start taking applications for their scholarship program on Monday. CGCC Marketing and Communications Director Tom Penberthy says they have been simplifying the application process, and in addition they are planning a financial aid workshop on April 16. Penberthy noted much of the financial aid information is useful when applying for other sources of scholarships as well. The workshop will be held at CGCC’s campus in The Dalles. Last year the Foundation awarded $20,000 in scholarships.
