Ames Scholarship
 |
Seattle Pacific University knows a diverse community is an asset. In fact, the 2011-12 freshman class had more ethnic diversity than ever — 30 percent of incoming students come from ethnically diverse backgrounds.
The Ames Scholarships, which help support traditionally underrepresented students of color, are making a difference! Today, 32 SPU Ames Scholars are in part supported through a fund started by a $1 million donation from SPU friends Gary and Barbara Ames. There are 31 Ames alumni who are in medical school, graduate school, working for non-profit organizations, K-12 education, healthcare, and high tech.
Meet the 2011–12 Ames Scholars, and discover the story behind the Ames Scholarship program.
Apply to Be an Ames Scholar!
The Ames Scholarship seeks to support students of color coming from the most underrepresented cultural and ethnic backgrounds. We believe these students will bring valuable life experiences to SPU and impact our campus greatly. We will consider students that have cross cultural experiences, a desire to participate in leadership and on-campus activities, and have a strong passion to pursue higher education. The award amounts vary.
To be considered, please submit your Ames Scholarship application by February 15, 2012.
