Washington Opportunity Scholarship -- Apply now!

Washington State Opportunity Scholarship (WSOS).

The scholarship helps low- and middle-income Washington State residents earn first bachelor's degrees in science, technology, engineering, mathematics (STEM) and health care. The application period is Jan. 7, 2013, through Feb. 18, 2013.  They will start notifying people about decisions on May 1, 2013.

They are looking for students who are traditionally underrepresented in STEM fields (students of color, first generation students, females, and low-income students) so all of you are in their target audience. The WSOS Board has increased the annual amount juniors and seniors will receive from $1,000 to $5,000.
