The purpose of the community scholarship matching grant program is to provide two thousand dollar state-funded matching awards as an incentive to Washington community scholarship foundations to raise money and award scholarships to community residents who wish to pursue higher education. The community scholarship matching grant program encourages community organizations to generate local dollars to complement efforts funded by the state. In making awards, preference will be given to organizations affiliated with the citizens' scholarship foundation. An organization may receive more than one two thousand dollar matching grant per biennium.
