Coastline scholarship funds exceed student applications

Coastline Community College is offering up to $50,000 in scholarships to students for the current school year.

Students with good grades and who have outstanding community service experience and leadership skills or financial need can be awarded between $150 and $2,000. Students can apply and qualify in multiple categories. Scholarships awarded have outnumbered students who applied, said Mariam Khosravani, the Coastline Foundation’s director.

Applications are available at www.coastline.edu/scholarships and where Coastline Community College classes are held in Costa Mesa, Westminster, Garden Grove and in the college’s Fountain Valley office.

Eligible students must take at least five units at Coastline this semester or the next; at least five units in classes with letter grades must be completed by the end of this semester.

For more information, call (714) 546-7600, EXT. 16554 or e-mail [email protected].

The application deadline is 6 p.m. March 10. Scholarships will be awarded April 24.
