For more than two decades, Rainier Scholars has proven how equitable access to a high-quality education and boundless opportunities can change the life trajectory for underrepresented students of color. Yet the impact of the Rainier Scholars experience extends far beyond the individual student. Our scholars themselves are catalysts for change as they transform communities, schools and workplaces—creating greater possibilities for future generations.

I believe that programs like Rainier Scholars are essential to building a more equitable world: 

• Nurturing the personal, academic and professional growth of students over a 12-year arc, starting early in 5th grade
• Building foundations of critical thinking, resilience and belonging that scholars carry forward into all aspects of life 
• Increasing college graduation rates and developing new generations of diverse leaders 

Join me for an online celebration that honors the hard work, sacrifice and achievement of our scholars. See how igniting a spark and inspiring excellence can help transform our world.  

Together, we can all be catalysts for change.
