The Lake Washington PTSA Council began its scholarship program over 30 years ago to assist graduating seniors with their college education. In 1990, scholarships were added for district staff to help defray the costs of continuing education. Funding for these scholarships is provided by the 41 PTA units in the Lake Washington School District and members of the community. Student recipients are selected on the basis of academic achievement, leadership, and most importantly, community service. Teachers are selected based on dedication to students, educational goals, and service to the community.
