  • Must have CASAS post-test scores on file.
  • Must have met with a PCC Academic Advisor.
  • Must have already registered for credit classes for the term indicated on the scholarship application so scholarship funds may be applied to your tuition costs.
  • Must have a completed adult education teacher recommendation prior to the scholarship deadline. You will need to copy and paste the teacher recommendation form into an email to your teacher.
    • Recently Released Adults in Custody: If you earned your GED through the PCC Corrections Education program at Coffee Creek Correctional Facility, Columbia River Correctional Institution, or South Fork Forest Camp, Oregon Department of Corrections (DOC) does not allow teacher recommendations. Instead, your teacher will submit a DOC AIC Work Performance Report for you. No action is needed from you. We will take care of this for you.
