Scholarship Sponsored by Washington State Council of County & City Employees

Introduction
The Washington State Council of County & City Employees (WSCCCE / Council 2) awards a set of scholarships each year. Each scholarship application contains the specific rules and instructions applicants must follow to be considered.

Eligibility
These awards are open to high school seniors and college undergraduate students who are dependents of, or under the legal guardianship of, a local union member in good standing with WSCCCE (including qualifying non-association members in good standing).

Scholarship awards available
- One annual $5,000 award paid each year for four years (total $20,000) to a qualifying dependent or ward of a WSCCCE local union member.
- Six scholarships of $5,000 each to qualifying dependents or wards of WSCCCE local union members.
- Six scholarships of $2,000 each to qualifying dependents or wards of WSCCCE local union members.
