The resolution adopting the Tukwila City of Opportunity Scholarship allocates $10,000 per calendar year for scholarship awards with each award being no less than $1,000 and no more than $5,000 each. This year we advertised the scholarship on the City's website, on Channel 21 and information about the scholarship was provided to Foster High School and Aviation High School. DISCUSSION A Scholarship Selection Committee comprised of Mayor Haggerton, Council President Kate Kruller, Nate Robinson, Teen Program Specialist, Cheryl Thompson, Executive Assistant and Jenni Standard, College and Career Counselor at Foster High School reviewed the three applications that were submitted. Each reviewer individually considered the applicant's grade point average, financial need, educational and professional goals, community involvement (service, extracurricular activities, and employment experience) and personal essay and provided a rating for each application. After reviewing the applications the selection committee is recommending scholarships be awarded to all three applicants. In June the Selection Committee will present an annual report to City Council. The annual report will also include our plans to increase awareness of the scholarship. RECOMMENDATION Based upon review of the applications, consideration of all of the required components and discussion by the Committee we are recommending a scholarship award to Nandina Cengic in the amount of $4,000, a scholarship award to Ada Jannina Arquiza in the amount of $3,000 and a scholarship award to Mamata Tamang in the amount of $3,000 to be approved at the May 4, 2015 Regular Meeting.
