How to win it
Strong applicants clearly meet every requirement: graduating high school senior or adult learner (at least one year out of high school); washington state resident; attending accredited two/four-year college, university, or trade/technical school. This award asks for 2 recommendations, a transcript, so give those pieces real time rather than rushing them. Apply early and double-check the deadline, since local awards often have small applicant pools and reward the well-prepared.
