Gov. scholarship applications ready
Gov. Gary Locke recently announced that applications for the fourth year of the Washington State Governor’s Scholarship for Foster Youth are now available.
Locke established the program in 2001 to help children in state or federally recognized foster, group and kinship care enroll in and complete college in Washington state.
The scholarship program is funded by proceeds from the annual Governor’s Cup Golf Tournament and is managed by the Washington Education Foundation.
All applicants must be in state-recognized foster, group or kinship care (or have been until emancipation) and be current high school seniors who plan to graduate during the 2004-05 school year.
Additional applicant eligibility criteria can be found on the Washington Education Foundation’s Web site – www.waedfoundation.org (click on the Governor’s Scholarship link).
Applications can be downloaded from the Washington Education Foundation’s Web site or can be requested by calling 1-877-655-4097.
Applications must be postmarked by March 1.
