About the Sponsor
In the hopes of stimulating more educational interest in the fields of science, technology, engineering and math and a concern for a dearth of students being attracted to STEM education, long-time Bothell resident and former Northshore School Board member Jack Sutherland made a $60,000 contribution from which a $3,500 scholarship would be awarded annually to a graduate pursuing studies in either science, technology, engineering or math.
Jack Sutherland was a member of the Northshore district school board, active in scouting and had a career as a Boeing engineer.
