About The Evergreen Fund
The Evergreen Fund provides student scholarships and research fellowships which are key to learning and professional growth, emergency grants essential to keeping students in school, and educational opportunities that enhance their college experience. When you support the Evergreen Fund, students’ futures are filled with hope, promise, and immense possibilities. Inevitably, the future also promises challenges, some of which students at our Olympia and Tacoma campuses are already facing including rising inflation, the aftermath of the global pandemic, and unexpected hardships that threaten their pursuit of a college education. They need your help.
Help us propel students on their journey of learning as they prepare to enrich our society!
