Washington Scholars Program
2008 Washington Scholars Directory
The Washington Scholars program recognizes the accomplishments of three
high school seniors from each of the state’s 49 legislative districts.
Students receive state scholarships for up to four years of public resident
undergraduate tuition and fees. The scholarships can be
used at any Washington
public or independent college or university.
High school principals nominate the top 1 percent of their school’s graduating senior class on the basis of academic achievement, leadership and community service. A committee, composed of high school principals and college admissions staff, selects the top four students in each legislative district, naming three as scholars and one as a scholar alternate.
In fiscal year 2007, the program will use $2.3 million to
help about 420 students.
