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 in Seattle. Martin Scholars are encouraged to join departmental honors programs at UW Seattle, 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.
The scholarship provides $12,000/year for 2-3 years at UW Seattle (depending on course of study and academic plans). Please note that this scholarship is currently only available for studies at UW Seattle (unfortunately, not Bothell or Tacoma).
