About the Sponsor
Carl James Dunlap was born on August 22, 1998, and grew up in Woodinville, WA. He attended Wellington Elementary, Leota Junior High (where he was student body president), and Woodinville High School (where he played in the Drumline). He was a University of Washington DO-IT (Disabilities, Opportunities, Internetworking, Technology) Scholar and intern.
On September 3, 2019, before the start of his senior year at UW and less than two weeks after celebrating his 21st birthday in Las Vegas, Carl passed away suddenly from complications of Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy. Carl was posthumously awarded his Bachelor of Arts in Business Administration (Marketing) by the University of Washington Foster School of Business (Class of 2020).
The scholarship will be awarded to a student with disabilities who would be unable to have a full college experience due to added costs related to their disability.
Carl loved hockey and had a wonderful experience as the debut Executive Track Internship Program for the Everett Silvertips. Carl aspired to work in sports management and dreamed of being the youngest General Manager in the National Hockey League.
Carl lived everyday to the fullest and never let his physical challenges stand in his way.
Carl had a full, rich experience at the University of Washington and was able to live on campus with the help of his family, friends and caregivers.
