Washington Scholar
For the Washington Scholars program, each school looks within this group of their top 5%, and then nominates candidates in the top one percent of their seniors, based on criteria set by the Higher Education Coordinating Board. Nominated students must lead their class in academic achievement, community service and student leadership. Three Washington Scholars and one alternate are then chosen from this group for each legislative district in Washington State. Kimberly Bussing was chosen as a Washington Scholar for Legislative District 5.
