WA-FCCLA SCHOLARSHIPS
Washington FCCLA offers two $1,000 scholarships to active FCCLA members who have achieved academic excellence. There are three categories of scholarships offered:
• Applicants who plan to major in FACSE.
• Applicants who plan to prepare for a FACSE-related occupation.
• Applicants currently in a university, community, or technical college
