Wa-Hi student receives prestigious Washington Scholars scholarship
Walla Walla High School senior Ryan Campeau was named a Washington Scholars recipient which recognizes the accomplishments of three high school students from each of the states 49 legislative districts. Students can use the grants at any public or independent college or university in Washington.
This merit scholarship award, the highest honor the state bestows each year to graduating high school seniors, recognizes academic excellence, leadership, and community service. The scholarship helps pay for up to eight semesters of in-state undergraduate study. High school principals nominate the top one percent of their graduating class on the basis of academic achievement, leadership, and community service. A committee, composed of high school principals and college admissions staff, makes the final selection.
The scholarship is good for four years - $6,720 per year. Campeau has decided to attend Whitman College and plans to double major in English and Theatre.
Campeau plans to attend a luncheon held in Olympia on May 20, in which Scholars will be honored by members of the state legislature. For more information about the Washington Scholars program, visit: http://www.hecb.wa.gov/Paying/waaidprgm/wsp.asp
