Scholarship Available
The Crone of Puget Sound Scholarship is designed to help an enrolled woman student at least 40 years of age to continue her education and training at North Seattle College.
The scholarship began in 2015 and is supported by tax-free donations from members. Recipients include women pursing AA degrees in Accounting, Nursing, Counseling (domestic violence), and Pharmacy Technician.
The Crone “Cheerleaders”, a small (and flamboyant) part of “The Rolling Crones”, our 28 member chorus, poses to publicize their song and dance performance at the 2017 Crone Scholarship luncheon, which raised our goal of $1200.
Each Fall quarter Scholarship information will be posted by the North Seattle College Office of Financial Aid and is also available online at northseattle.ed/scholarships or from the Scholarship Committee. If you would like more information please contact Anne at Scholarshipchair@croneofpugetsound.org
words by Scholarship Founder, Mary Cowger

Lyrics, in part, to the Cheerleaders song:
College educations cost a lot
But you can’t use money that you haven’t got
So we came to lunch
‘Cause we care a bunch
That our scholarship will help a woman stay in school.
Higher education makes the grade
Turns a bowl of lemons into lemonade
With a cap and gown you can go to town
And our scholarship will help a woman stay in school.
Fall 2020 CRONE SCHOLARSHIP RECIPIENT
This year’s $1500 scholarship award goes to Inna Kotyk, a 49 year old mother of two children, ages 30 and 13, and a grandmother. She and her family are from the Ukraine. Inna is a graduate of a Ukrainian school of medicine in nursing, worked for 10 years in thoracic surgery, has a PhD in psychological sciences and was an associate professor. But on arrival in the US, she found that none of her diplomas, certificates or licenses were valid. So she began again. She really wants to return to medicine so is now studying for her R.N. at North Seattle College.
