The money is yours!
Believe in yourself, do the work, and who knows, the Washington Interscholastic Activities Association could be calling your name next spring.
Working in conjunction with the Dairy Farmers of Washington and Les Schwab Tires, the WIAA is staging its sixth annual Smart Choices College Scholarship.
One female and one male high school student/athlete will each be hailed for their achievements in athletics/activities, the community, and the classroom, claiming a $5,000 college scholarship.
Even if you don’t win, there’s a second shot at sweet, sweet cash, as eight finalists will receive $1,000 scholarships.
Applications can be submitted between Nov. 1, 2017 and Apr. 1, 2018, and the WIAA website allows you to save partially finished applications as you work on them.
To be eligible, you need to answer some background questions, then write an essay or provide a personal statement video on “How you plan to use your education to benefit others.”
Judging is based on 35% athletic/activity excellence, 35% academic achievement, 15% leadership, 10% citizenship/community service, and 5% originality/creativity of the student’s essay or video.
