2010 Zesbaugh Scholarship

In alignment with the University of Washington’s commitment to diversity 
and the College of Education’s commitment to a) increasing access to 
education for all people, and b) advancing excellence through diversity, 
the College of Education is charged with supporting undergraduate 
students who contribute to the wide range of diverse experiences, 
values, perspectives, and skills that educators need to better serve all 
students.

We are especially, but not exclusively, interested in applications from 
first-generation college students (neither parent or legal guardian has 
a Bachelor’s degree) and students from racial and ethnic groups that are 
underrepresented in the College of Education such as, but not limited to 
the following: African American/Black, American Indian/Alaska Native, 
Native Hawaiian/Pacific Islander, Hispanic/Latino, underrepresented 
Asian American groups, etc.
