About the Sponsor
The Town of Grace Entrepreneur Scholarship was established to recognize young people who have demonstrated entrepreneurial spirit and initiative and to raise awareness among Northshore’s youth of the critical role that private enterprise and entrepreneurship play in the building of our community.
The Memorial Scholarship was established through a $150,000 bequest from an anonymous donor residing in the Town of Grace, Washington. The Town of Grace adjoins Woodinville's northern boundary in the area of Highway 9 and reaches north to Maltby..
Applicants are urged to learn about the history of the Town of Grace. Finalists may be asked during interviews to share what they have learned.
