2010 "Live the Dream" Scholarship Recipients
The Dream Project is proud to announce twelve scholarships for local high school students who will be attending the University of Washington in the fall. These scholarships were presented at an event on May 13, 2010 in the Paul G. Allen Center for Computer Science & Engineering on the UW campus.
The funds for the "Live the Dream" Scholarship were raised entirely by UW students in our class. Twelve students will each receive a $1,000 scholarship to attend the University of Washington. The winners were selected from a pool of nominees by a selection committee comprised of faculty advisors, deans, community supporters, and students. They were chosen based on their leadership, community service, financial need, overcoming adversity, and commitment to the Dream Project.
