Mortar Board is a national honor society  (a related but separate organization from the Foundation, which awards the scholarships) recognizing college seniors for outstanding scholarship, leadership, and service.  Mortar Board membership is one of the highest honors a university student can achieve. In western Washington we have three active Mortar Board chapters – at the University of Washington, Seattle Pacific University, and Pacific Lutheran University. There has been an active Mortar Board Chapter at the University of Washington since 1909. Mortar Board alumni form the Mortar Board Alumni/Tolo Foundation, which awards these merit scholarships annually.
