NEWS RELEASE
Two Auburn School District Seniors Named Washington Scholars

Auburn Mountainview High School senior Matt Burrows and Auburn Riverside High School senior Michael Broch have been named 2008 Washington Scholars.

The Washington Scholars program recognizes the accomplishments of three high school students from each of the state’s 49 legislative districts. Students can use the scholarships at any public or independent college or university in Washington, and the scholarships are equal up to four years of full-time resident undergraduate tuition and fees.

High school principals nominate the top one percent of their graduating class on the basis of academic achievement, leadership and community service. A committee, composed of high school principals and college admissions staff, makes the final selection.
