Volunteers needed to help choose scholarship recipients

Non-departmental Western Washington University scholarships are available to award to Western’s most accomplished students for the 2014-2015 academic year.

The WWU Scholarship Center invites members of Western’s faculty and staff to serve on a scholarship selection committee. This is a great opportunity to learn more about Western’s outstanding students and recognize them for their remarkable achievements.

Scholarship committee members receive a packet including students’ completed scholarship applications and evaluation materials. Committee members are asked to read and evaluate the applications and attend a one-hour committee meeting to discuss the applicants and select a recipient. Meetings will be scheduled late-May to early-June in keeping with each committee members’ availability.

Without the thoughtful consideration of committee members, recognizing Western students through scholarship awards would not be possible.

Those interested in serving as a scholarship committee member or who have questions should contact Chantel McMahon in the Scholarship Center at 360-650-2208 or chantel.mcmahon@wwu.edu.
