Changing Lives for 40+ Years

Tara Marinig
It is with great humility and appreciation that I accept the Marv Workman Business Scholarship for the 2016-17 academic year at the University of Washington Bothell; to be chosen out of so many students who I am sure exhibit many wonderful qualities is a genuine honor. It is difficult to find words to express the positive effect that your decision has on my life, but I will do my best to try.

Teresa Perdue
It’s been an honor for my daughter to be the recipient of the Make A Difference Scholarship. This has been a blessing since she’s been able to pursue her dream to attend the University of Washington’s Foster School of Business. Kimberly has big dreams and receiving this scholarship has enabled her to soar high and accomplish her goals this year! Thank you for Making A Difference in her life!

Keeley Walsh – Inglemoor
Being a recipient of the Rotary scholarship offered me the opportunity to view the world on a much grander scale. I now have a wider perspective that continues to grow through experience and time. Rotary’s motto of service above self has been something I have tried to live by, and the opportunity to study at a collegiate level has reinforced those concepts.

Lena Seino – Woodinville
I was awarded the Doug Pride Scholarship in 2007. The support from scholarship allowed me to focus on my studies while also volunteering with university events, extra circular actives and work/study abroad programs. Without the support from the scholarship program I would not have had the opportunities that shaped much of my undergraduate experience and opened doors thereafter.

Jerry & Annissa Walsh
We are so fortunate to have had both of our daughters receive a scholarship from the Scholarship Foundation. Due in part to the generosity of the Scholarship Foundation Erin will be able to stay in the Seattle area and work on her ARNP degree, while Keeley was able to obtain much needed funding to continue her education in Latin American studies. We would like to thank the Scholarship Foundation of Northshore for the part that they played in helping our daughters form and pursue their dreams.

Emily Rich – SAS
After being awarded the Woodinville Rotary’s Make A Difference Scholarship I attended Cascadia College where I am still earning my transfer degree. I was so thankful to receive the help. It really inspired me to get started in college. So far my experience at Cascadia has been wonderful. I continue to work at Starbucks while earning my degree.

Kim Perdue – Woodinville
Volunteering and giving back has always been an integral part of my life. Being awarded the rotary scholarship was a great honor and I’m extremely thankful. Due to the Make A Difference scholarship I was able to alleviate some of the financial stress off of my parents in terms of college costs. Additionally, it has helped me to purchase textbooks for classes, some of which can be $300 each.

Max Zellweger
I have always been struck by the motivation, confidence, excitement and eagerness of scholarship recipients to continue their education. I recall moments when I had to hold back my tears while listening to and observing the students on the stage giving their presentations. I am happy I can support the Foundation and am confident that these contributions have made a difference in the lives of the students.

Maddi Williams
I was pretty shy and quiet in high school so winning the Make A Difference Scholarship was shocking. When I was at SAS I was part of the SAS Music Program which helped develop my performing skills and increase my confidence. I worked throughout SAS and college so when I graduated I did not owe any money! Thank you!

Heidi Schauble
I received the scholarship money multiple years! I kept applying to renew it and they were nice enough to keep awarding it. My family and I can’t afford college so Woodinville Rotary was amazing. I attended Cascadia College then transferred to UW Bothell where I earned my bachelor’s degree and master’s degree. I am so grateful to the Woodinville Rotary!
