Astoria, OR – February 25, 2020 – Clatsop Community College’s (CCC) art and design students have an incredible new educational opportunity thanks to a recent transfer agreement between CCC and Pacific Northwest College of Art (PNCA). CCC students who transfer to PNCA are now able to receive a scholarship of $20,000 per year, guaranteed for up to three years, for a total of $60,000.
The art scholarship is available to all CCC graduating students who apply and are accepted into PNCA. In addition, the agreement outlines a clear pathway for students to begin their coursework at CCC and complete a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree at PNCA.
The agreement is part of PNCA’s broader effort to make its nationally recognized fine art and design education available to more students.
“By providing Clatsop Community College students with an affordable way to transition and achieve their BFA, Pacific Northwest College of Art is helping to further the hub of creativity in the Pacific Northwest,” stated David Savinar, member of PNCA’s Board of Governors. “We are pleased to formalize our ongoing relationship with Clatsop Community College and look forward to welcoming their graduates to our campus in the years to come.”
“Clatsop Community College
has a strong arts program and extremely talented art students, and this
agreement is a wonderful opportunity to help our students pursue further
studies outside of our program,” said Chris Breitmeyer, president of Clatsop
Community College. “PNCA has a great reputation in our local community, but for
a long time our students and others in Clatsop County thought attending was
unobtainable. This agreement changes that way of thinking by providing our
students with a direct path to one of the region’s premiere art and design
schools.”
