How to win it
Strong applicants clearly meet every requirement: ged student or graduating senior from a high school in thurston county or pierce county; demonstrated significant financial need; priority for students of color and those who demonstrate a commitment to others. 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.
