$4,500 in scholarships awarded to UW students

This fall, we awarded $4,500 in scholarships to members of the University of Washington Circle K International (UW CKI), a student-led volunteer service club we help support. Congratulations to this year’s winners Hannah Powell, Hana Chollar, Lila Bray and Joephery Rafael!

These awards are provided through the Bernard/Orr scholarship program that University District Kiwanis established in 1984 to provide tuition assistance for UW School of Business students and was later re-purposed in 1991 after we began sponsoring the Circle K club at the UW.

Recipients must be members of UW CKI for at least four months, be enrolled as a UW student in the fall quarter, have a cumulative GPA of 2.75 or higher, demonstrate financial need, actively participate in Circle K meetings, service and fundraising projects, and demonstrate leadership or leadership potential.

In addition to meeting the above criteria, this year’s recipients are all serving as CKI officers. To learn more about the UW CKI, visit their website or follow them on Instagram!
