The Lake Washington Institute of Technology (LWTech) in Kirkland has announced its Science, Technology, Engineering and Math (STEM) scholarships for newly expanded transfer degrees.

The first 10 high school graduates of Lake Washington School District, Northshore School District, Issaquah School District and Riverview School District to enroll in LWTech’s specific transfer degrees will receive grants and scholarships to cover their first quarter tuition. This applies only to the following transfer degrees offered by LWTech: Associate in Biology; Computer and Electrical Engineering Associate in Science (Transfer); and Mechanical, Civil, Aeronautical, Industrial, Materials Science Pre-Engineering Associate in Science (Transfer). The Associate in Biology degree is ideal for students interested in earning transferable pre-med, pre-dental, pre-pharmacy, and pre-veterinarian credits and plan to transfer to a four-year university.

Scholarships are provided by the LWTech Foundation, which awarded $175,000 in scholarships during the 2015-2016 academic year. The college also awards $100,000 in scholarships per year from the National Science Foundation (NSF) to support STEM students studying information technology, digital gaming, and design.

LWTech is holding an information session at 6 p.m. on June 22 at the Kirkland campus in the Allied Health building, room A102, for parents and students to learn more about scholarships.
