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, Scholarships.com and TheWashBoard.org. DISCUSSION The deadline to apply for the City Scholarship is March 31 each year. This year we only received one application by that date. Rather than allow allocated funds to go unused, we extended the application deadline to April 12, 2019. By extending the deadline this shortened the timeframe to bring this before Council. Therefore, with the agreement of Council President Hougardy, we are bringing the recommendations directly to the full Council at the May 6, Regular Council Meeting. The Scholarship Selection Committee comprised of Mayor Allan Ekberg, Council President Kathy Hougardy, Cheryl Thompson, Executive Assistant, and Jenni Standard, College and Career Counselor at Foster High School reviewed the two applications. As the applicants met the requirements for the City Scholarship the Committee is recommending scholarship awards for them both. RECOMMENDATION Based upon review of the applications, we are recommending the following scholarship awards be approved: • $5,000 each to Sydney Brusnighan and Makelle Mills. Scholarship recipients will be invited to the June 3 City Council meeting to be recognized by the Council.
