Scholarships offered through the WPPF make an enormous difference to students, says Aaron Saks, PSE senior, TAPPI Student Chapter President, Alumni Scholar and Anson Moody scholar. In some cases these scholarships make the UW education possible. We are also grateful for the interest in our educations and futures that are shown through these scholarship funds.
