The 25th Annual Martin Luther King, Jr. Scholarship Fund

In furtherance of the dream of Martin Luther King, Jr., the Mt. Baker Community Club awards college scholarships to deserving neighborhood students of color who might not otherwise achieve their dream of a college education. Started in 1985, The Fund has enjoyed longstanding support from the Mt. Baker community.  100% of the funds raised by MLK Scholarship Fund are used for scholarships and other programs designed to encourage students to pursue higher education

This year, the community will award approximately 15 scholarships in the amount of $3,000 each to local high school seniors.  A second year scholarship is also available to eligible scholarship recipients. We seek out and give highest consideration to young people who show financial need, have overcome obstacles, have worked to improve their community, and might be overlooked by traditional scholarships.
