At Rainier Scholars we work to ensure access to a high-quality education, changing the life trajectory of hundreds of students of color and their families -- creating a ripple of impact felt by this community and future generations.
Our scholars work hard and make great sacrifices on their 12-year journey to college graduation. Together we are deeply committed to helping them achieve success.
We are delighted to welcome you to our first-ever Virtual Luncheon. Because our students are at the heart of everything we do, you will see a strong scholar presence in our luncheon program, which will include:
- Greetings from our alumni around the country
- A celebration of our high school and college graduates
- An introduction to incoming Executive Director, Rafael del Castillo, by our scholars
- An inspirational message from UW Vice Provost Dr. Ed Taylor
Join us this year for an accessible online celebration to honor and recognize our students and their stories.
Support educational equity by making a gift before or during the Luncheon.
