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.

Our alumni community is a powerful legacy, demonstrating the success of the Rainier Scholars organization. The luncheon is a moment of gratitude to reflect on our own journeys as scholars, and we hope you will be part of this virtual celebration!

During the event, you will hear the inspiring stories of current scholars, their educational journeys, and the importance community support is in the pursuit of educational equity.

The luncheon will also feature powerful messages from:

• Rafael del Castillo, the new Rainier Scholars Executive Director
• 2022 college graduates from around the country

Plus our very own Thaddaeus Gregory, Cohort 3, will serve as co-emcee, and you'll see other alums in cameo roles.

Please register to attend this virtual event. Support educational equity and Rainier Scholars by making a gift on this page before or during the luncheon.
