Congratulations to the three UW Presidential Scholars in Spokane!

This scholarship recognizes high school students who “use their talent and creativity to innovate on behalf of their communities…” This could mean “creating a new organization [or] program”, “filling a gap in a political [or] scientific field”, or “developing new platforms to advocate for change.” The scholarship awards each student $10,000 annually, for up to four years, throughout their attendance at the University of Washington.

This year, only 15 students within the Washington state received this prestigious award. We couldn’t be prouder of these Spokane students and celebrate them as they continue to pursue their educational endeavors.
