Attention College-Bound Seniors and Families!
Exciting changes have been made to the EF Maxwell Scholarship this year that may benefit our students. For over 30 years, the EF Maxwell Scholarship Foundation has awarded more than $12 million to over 650 high school seniors in the Puget Sound area. This year, the foundation has eliminated the financial need requirement, making the scholarship accessible to all high school seniors.
Qualifying students can receive up to $5,000 per year, totaling $20,000 for those attending private colleges.
