Dear Student,
I want to warmly welcome you to spring quarter classes! While I know attending classes may look and feel very different for you right now, know that you are making big strides in your educational journey and we at Shoreline are here with you each step of the way to ensure you have a healthy quarter.
While we have never gone through something like this before, and things are changing quickly, one thing that will not change is our dedication to educating and serving you—our students. Here are a few important tips and reminders for you as you begin your classes online:
Find Support
- Connect with your instructors often via email or Canvas – they are ready to help you and they understand you may have different needs this quarter.
- Use the spring resources page on the website to stay up–to–date and locate support services you would normally find on campus.
Find Learning Tools
Find Funding
- We have a COVID-19 emergency relief fund if you’re having trouble paying for tuition, fees, course materials, food, housing, technology, health care, childcare, or emergency expenses.
- Contact Financial Aid office (finaid@shoreline.edu, 206-546-4762) to learn about the full range of funding opportunities.
- Apply for emergency grants and spring quarter scholarships now through the Shoreline Community College Foundation (scholarships@shoreline.edu, 206-533-6783).

Congratulations to Jennifer Brown, a Shoreline student currently studying abroad in Japan thanks to a $2000 Gilman scholarship award.
Studying abroad helps students broaden their worldview and allows them to experience different cultures, discover a different style of education, hone language skills, discover new career tracks, find new areas of interest, and gain life experience and opportunities for personal growth. Many students don’t take advantage of study abroad opportunities because they aren’t aware of the many scholarships available to help defray the costs.
Check out the Gilman scholarship, as well as the numerous other scholarships available to students to study abroad.
And check out the many fabulous 2020 Study Abroad opportunities posted on Shoreline’s Study Abroad page.

For the second year in a row, Shoreline Community College tied for most Gilman Scholarship recipients of any two-year institution in the country.
Two Shoreline students were selected to receive a combined total of $5,000 to spend fall quarter studying in Japan. Another two Shoreline students were selected as alternates, which means that should other students decline their awards, they will receive funding from the Gilman Scholarship program. These two students also plan to study in Japan.
A total of five Shoreline students applied for the scholarship, which means that 40% of Shoreline’s applicants were immediately selected to receive scholarships, and another 40% were selected as alternates.
From the press release on the Gilman Scholarship program website:
“Gilman scholars receive up to $5,000 to apply towards their study abroad or internship program costs. The program aims to diversify the students who study and intern abroad and the countries and regions where they go. Students receiving a Federal Pell Grant from two- and four-year institutions who will be studying abroad or participating in a career-oriented international internship for academic credit are eligible to apply. Scholarship recipients have the opportunity to gain a better understanding of other cultures, countries, languages, and economies — making them better prepared to assume leadership roles within government and the private sector.
Congressman Gilman, who retired in 2002 after serving in the House of Representatives for 30 years and chairing the House Foreign Relations Committee, commented, “Study abroad is a special experience for every student who participates. Living and learning in a vastly different environment of another nation not only exposes our students to alternate views, but also adds an enriching social and cultural experience. It also provides our students with the opportunity to return home with a deeper understanding of their place in the world, encouraging them to be a contributor, rather than a spectator in the international community.”
If you would like to learn more about how you can use this scholarship to study abroad, contact the Shoreline Community College Study Abroad Office at studyabroad@shoreline.edu.
