Ames Scholarship
 |
Seattle Pacific University knows a diverse community is an asset. In fact, the 2009–10 freshman class had more ethnic diversity than ever — 27 percent of incoming students come from ethnically diverse backgrounds.
The Ames Scholarships, which help support ethnically diverse high school graduates, are making a difference! Today, 30 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 23 Ames alumni who are in medical school, graduate school, working for non-profit organizations, K-12 education, healthcare, and high tech.
Meet the 2009–10 Ames Scholars, and discover the story behind the Ames Scholarship program.
