Martin Achievement Scholarship

The Martin Achievement Scholarship offers financial awards to community college students interested in eventually obtaining bachelors’ degrees from the University of Washington, Seattle.

If you are thinking about transferring to UW then you may qualify. This opportunity is designed to encourage and assist students early in their community college careers to pursue the baccalaureate at UW after completing their associate’s degrees or transfer requirements for UW academic programs. Selected students will have a UW transfer date not earlier than summer/fall quarter 2012.

Martin Achievement Scholars may receive $5,000 in support for their second year in community college and up to $7,000 per year for three years at UW. Awarded on a competitive basis, the Martin Achievement Scholarship recognizes promise and accomplishment in academics, leadership, or contributions to the community.

Eligibility requirements include completion of 15 transfer credits at an accredited community college in Washington State, legal residency in Washington State, US citizenship or resident alien status with intent to become a US citizen.

The application deadline is Tuesday, April 12, 2011. You can check out this site for additional information plus a link to the online application.
