Program Terms and Conditions
The Program
The Northwest Fisheries Association Scholarship Program was established for the purpose of providing financial assistance for the higher education of NWFA member company families.
The NWFA Scholarship Program is managed by the board of trustees of the NWFA, a non-profit corporation. Awards are granted without regard to race, color, creed, religion, sex, sexual orientation, disability, or national origin.
Eligibility
Any qualified member company employee, or a spouse or dependent of a qualified employee who plans to attend college or a vocational-technical school in the upcoming school year is eligible to apply for a scholarship. To qualify for eligibility the employee must have a minimum of one year of employment.
Scholarship Awards
There will be a minimum of two NWFA Scholarships given out each year, one from the Bob Boroughs Endowment Fund, and one from the Ted Evans Endowment Fund. Other scholarship awards may be given by the board of trustees at their discretion, and may include a Past President’s Scholarship, a Board Scholarship and a NWFA scholarship. Awards of $3,500 or more are granted. Only one scholarship per applicant per year will be awarded and no applicant can be awarded a NWFA scholarship more than twice.
Application
Interested individuals must complete an application form and mail it along with a current transcript of grades to NWFA, postmarked no later than March 1st.
Applicants are responsible for gathering and submitting all necessary information. Applications are evaluated on the information supplied; therefore, it is important to answer all questions completely. All information received is considered confidential and is reviewed only by the NWFA Scholarship Committee.
The application becomes complete and valid when you have returned all of the following materials by the due date:
- A completed application, including your most recent GPA, applicant & member signatures.
- An essay which must include educational goals (see application for more detail) and community service. Financial need may be addressed if appropriate.

Applicants will be notified via email of receipt of their application; winners will be posted on the NWFA website (www.northwestfisheries.org) by May 15th.
Selection of Recipients
Scholarship recipients are selected on the basis of their applications and essays. Selection is determined solely by the NWFA board of directors. Notice of the awards will be made to awardees on or before May 1st.
Payment of Scholarship Awards
Scholarship award checks will be distributed to the recipients when proof of registration is received at the association office.
