Welcome to the scholarship website for the ASWA Tacoma Chapter.

Tacoma has been very supportive of accounting students by awarding up to three scholarships in nearly every year since 1977. The first scholarship was to a single recipient. The Tacoma Chapter will be providing awards locally; the ASWA Educational Foundation also considers local applicants for scholarships at the national level.

When evaluating scholarship applications, we consider career goals, communication skills, financial needs and circumstances, academic achievement, and community involvement. It is not necessary for you to have a 4.0 grade point average to be awarded a scholarship. Local winners have had a 3.0 average.

Scholarship winners for the 2007 - 2008 academic year:

The recipients are: Laura White $2,000 - attending Pierce College,

Joyce Mums $1,500 - attending South Puget Sound Community College, and

Jonna Mertens $500 - attending University of WA, Tacoma

The raffles at our monthly meetings and other fundraising activities, from time to time, make these scholarships possible. Thank you all for your participation in this important service we provide to students seeking careers in our field. Many of us have heard first hand from prior recipients who are grateful, not only for the financial support, but also for the validation and encouragement they felt when supported by ASWA members in attaining their goals.

Tamara Larson , Scholarship Chair
