When Grays Harbor College was established in 1930, a tradition of helping our students succeed also began. Now, some 80 years later, we have assembled excellent instructors and dedicated staff, all caring individuals focused on providing the very best services to the students in the Grays Harbor and Pacific counties that we serve. We are focused on success of all varieties – helping students as they work towards an Associate degree with plans to transfer on to a four-year college or university; teaching new skills that could lead to a new or improved job; or encouraging someone as they strive to earn a GED, master English as a new language, or enroll in any one of our community special interest courses.

   

Grays Harbor College Foundation 

The Grays Harbor College Foundation is among the oldest of the community college foundations in the Northwest, founded more than 40 years ago with proceeds raised from Gala Starlight Ball events. Since that time, the Foundation has continued to award scholarships for deserving students and identify other ways to be supportive of the College.

The Foundation Board of Directors, which meets monthly on the main campus, includes more than 25 community leaders from Grays Harbor and Pacific Counties. In addition to funding ten full-tuition scholarships each year, the Foundation also sponsors the World Class Scholars program. Through this outreach program, the Foundation makes a promise of a partial tuition scholarship to every seventh grader in Grays Harbor and Pacific Counties who signs a contract with the college and qualifies for World Class Scholars status by the time they graduate from high school. Students must attend GHC to receive the partial tuition scholarship. Thus far, more than 205 young people have qualified and received funding as World Class Scholars.

Recent efforts of the Foundation also include funding for College staff excellence awards, contributions towards capital projects, management of many endowed scholarship funds, plus the scholarships given annually ever since the first Starlight Ball. The GHC Foundation Office is located on our main campus.

For further information about donations to the Foundation or creating scholarship endowments, contact the office at (360) 538-4243.
