During the 2011-2012 academic year, Chancellor Kenyon Chan funded new initiatives on campus to raise awareness of scholarship opportunities among UW Bothell students and provide individualized advising to applicants. The investment paid off as UW Bothell students were awarded a number of prestigious scholarships over the last year.<\/p>\n\n
UW Bothell students were successful in university-wide competitions, including Chris McRae, who was chosen for the Edward E. Carlson Leadership Award, which is one of the highest recognitions of student public service. UW Bothell also had six Mary Gates Research Scholars, a Class of 1954 Achievement Scholar, and several recipients of study abroad scholarships.<\/p>\n\n
Student Ben Wiselogle became the first UW Bothell student endorsed for Gates Cambridge, a prestigious scholarship for graduate study at Cambridge University in the UK, and seven students – the first from UW Bothell – have submitted applications for international study or teaching opportunities through the U.S. Student Fulbright Program.
