The Washington Award for Vocational Excellence has been suspended until further notice.
2011 WAVE Scholars Announced
The Washington Award for Vocational Excellence (WAVE) selection committee has chosen the 2011 WAVE scholars.
WAVE recognizes outstanding career and technical education students at high schools and community and technical colleges.
As with most other state programs, WAVE funding has been affected by the long-term recession. While there will be no NEW funding of scholarships, WAVE recipients are recognized by colleges, universities and employers as hard working, achievement-oriented leaders who excel both in school and outside the classroom. This award demonstrates they are among the best and brightest.
The Financial Award -- SUSPENDED
New WAVE monetary awards are not being issued for 2011. Also, the recognition program is suspended for the next two years as a result of the recession. Previous monetary awards have been funded for the coming two years and will be honored. The awards pay undergraduate educational tuition for two years (six quarters or four semesters) at an accredited public or private college or university, or licensed vocational school. The school must be in Washington. Students are reimbursed up to the amount of the highest tuition charged by a public university in the state .
If tuition is paid for through other means, the WAVE funds can be used to pay for other valid educational expenses, such as books, supplies, room, board, or transportation. The grant is based on undergraduate study only. The student must maintain a term grade point average (GPA) of 3.0 to continue using the award.

Selection
Up to three WAVE recipients (two from high schools/skills centers and one from community/technical colleges) are chosen from each legislative district by a selection committee. Each high school and Skills Center may submit an application for at least one student and as many as four students, depending on the total number of graduating vocational program completers. The number of applicants submitted from community and technical colleges is determined by the State Board for Community and Technical Colleges.
