Ames Scholarship


Christian Bravo

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.

Apply to Be an Ames Scholar!

Are you a minority high school student and a born leader? You may be the perfect candidate for the Ames Scholarship. We consider cross-cultural experiences, a desire to lead on the SPU campus, and a willingness to participate in ongoing leadership development. The amount awarded varies.
