Have you made a positive impact in your community? Apply for the Edward E. Carlson Student Leadership Award! The UW’s Carlson Center is currently accepting applications for the Edward E. Carlson Student Leadership Award. Named for one of Seattle’s foremost civic leaders, the award recognizes individual students who have demonstrated a strong commitment to public service, provided outstanding leadership in the community, and who are committed to continued creative civic participation.

The award recipient will receive $2500 and be honored at the Carlson Center’s Fellowship on May 24th.

In order to be eligible for the award, you must be enrolled as a junior or senior at the University of Washington during the current academic year and working toward your first baccalaureate degree. The award is open to students from all three UW campuses.
