Welcome

The Multicultural Center, which is housed in the Center for Equity, Engagement and Service, provides an opportunity for people of all cultures to meet, to explore their cultural origins, and to work toward understanding, respect, and appreciation for the diversity within our campus community and society.

 

The Multicultural Center promotes student academic success and personal empowerment. Students meet to study and to socialize; they are able to utilize computers with Internet access, discuss academic and multicultural information and share multiple perspectives.

 

The Multicultural Center offers lectures, workshops and special events that are designed for staff and community members to develop and enhance their multicultural awareness, knowledge, and skills.

Scholarship Search 

Completing the FAFSA- Free Application for Federal Student Aid - is an important step to finding funding for school. It is often an essential part of a scholarship application. We can assist you with interpreting and completing the FAFSA. We also understand that not all students are eligible to apply for federal financial aid. Other resources may be available to assist you. Come chat with us to discuss options.

 

Searching for scholarships, (finding money to help with school expenses) requires significant time and effort. We are available to meet one-on-one with you to discuss the scholarship search process. Here are a few resources to help get you started:

• The Shoreline Community College Foundation sponsors scholarships for new and continuing Shoreline students. 
• TheWashboard.org is a free, web-based, non-profit scholarship clearinghouse for Washington students seeking college scholarships.
