The Washington Apple Education Foundation has awarded 225 new and renewing students with scholarship support this spring. Funding for the awards was raised through voluntary contributions from members of the tree fruit industry and its suppliers and service providers. In total, this year’s scholarship recipients are receiving slightly over $850,000 in educational awards.

Students receiving WAEF scholarships share a common link of parent employment in the tree fruit industry. WAEF scholarship recipients are pursuing a wide variety of degrees and career paths. Awards may be used by recipients at accredited two-year colleges, four-year public and private universities, and technical/vocational colleges.
