Scholarships and Support
Karen Keiser Scholarships
At a special event on Saturday, December 15, 2024, where we had the honor of recognizing Senator Karen Keiser, we were thrilled to announce the creation of the Karen Keiser Scholarship. Since the announcement, we’ve already received 10 generous contributions, and we’re excited to share that the Highline College Foundation will match all donations up to $10,000!

Emergency Support
Student Emergency Support (SES)
HC Foundation works with teams on campus to provide emergency support for students to stay enrolled. Since there are various sources of emergency funds, the best next step for students seeking support is to visit the student support center site to access the emergency funds request forms under the Financial Services and Asset Building tab.
