The Puget Sound Chapter of the STC sponsors two scholarships every year, each in
the amount of $1500.00. These scholarships are being offered to students to
further their education in technical communication.
The
scholarship fund was originally (1986) set up to honor two Society Fellows who
made significant contributions to STC (at both the chapter and society levels)
and to the technical communication community as a whole. Among their many
accomplishments, James W. Souther and Myron L. White were instrumental in
establishing the Puget Sound Chapter. More
recently, the chapter decided to also award a scholarship, and the two
scholarships are awarded at the same time through one application period.
Students who are
enrolled in the following approved two-year, four-year, and graduate programs
in colleges and universities in the Puget Sound area are eligible to apply for
the scholarships:

Community College: A.T.A., Visual Communications
Art Institute of Seattle: B.F.A., Graphic Design

The application period will be announced at this site in early January 2009. We will put the

expected as far as putting together a submission.
