Volunteers needed for WAVE Scholarship Review Committee
The Workforce Board seeks leaders from business, labor, education and the community to help evaluate next year’s Washington Award for Vocational Excellence (WAVE) applications.
WAVE is a merit scholarship that helps pay for college and postsecondary training.
WAVE helps undergraduate students pay for tuition and other costs at Washington colleges, universities or private career schools. As many as 147 students will be awarded WAVE scholarships each year – two high school students, and one community or technical college student from each of Washington’s 49 legislative districts.
