Posted on by

The Martin Family Foundation Honors Scholarship application is now open and available at http://expd.uw.edu/expo/scholarships/martinfamily. Deadline for applications is July 8, 2019. Please share with your students who are transferring to UW Seattle this summer 2019, fall 2019, winter 2020 or even those who have already transferred to UW but have not yet earned more than 18 UW credits.

 

Please note that students from ANY Washington State community college are potentially eligible to apply for this scholarship (see complete details on the website and eligibility details below). And Running Start students who meet the eligibility requirements are eligible to apply, along with non-Running Start students.

 

The Martin Family Foundation Honors Scholarship Program enables community college students of exceptional ability and outstanding achievement to complete their baccalaureate degrees at the University of Washington Seattle. Martin Scholars are encouraged to join departmental honors programs at UW, if available. Applicants are considered for superior strength of character, intellectual ability, and sense of purpose. They are expected to have well-formulated ideas about the direction of future studies and subsequent careers. There should be evidence that a Martin Scholarship will encourage pursuit of a program of education most likely to fulfill the applicant’s potential. Financial need may be considered but is not a requirement.

 

Eligibility:

  • Applicants must be Washington State residents who are in any one of the following three categories: (1) US citizens, or (2) US Permanent Residents, or (3) Eligible for in-state tuition through HB 1079 qualification.
