Aberdeen, WA – E.K. and Lillian F. Bishop Foundation Scholarship applications will open for the 2026-2027 academic year on Friday, May 1.

The E.K. and Lillian F. Bishop Scholarship is dedicated to supporting the academic journeys of Grays Harbor County students who are entering their junior and senior years of their undergraduate educations or pursuing a graduate degree. Established in 1986 by the E.K. and Lillian F. Bishop Foundation, this scholarship honors the legacy of its founders by providing assistance to alleviate financial burdens for students who graduated from Grays Harbor County high schools.

Scholarships may be awarded for up to two years of study at nationally accredited institutions. Students must reapply for consideration of a second-year award; renewal is not automatic or guaranteed. Scholarship amounts may be up to $5,000 per year for undergraduate students and up to $7,000 per year for graduate students.

Application submissions will be accepted through Wednesday, July 1, and recipients will be notified of the committee’s decision in August. For students who receive the scholarship, awards will be paid directly to the student’s college or university to offset the cost of tuition, room, board, and other fees.

To learn more and apply, please visit ghc.foundation/students/bishop-scholarships. If you need additional assistance or have questions, please contact the Grays Harbor College Foundation at 360-538-2522 or scholarships@ghc.edu.
