Celebrating the Carl James Dunlap Memorial Student Award

The University of Washington DO-IT Center is proud to announce that we have disbursed 6 awards to the 2025 recipients of the Carl James Dunlap Memorial Student Award. The award is a scholarship fund established by the Dunlap family in memory of Carl Dunlap, a former UW student. This year, six outstanding students were selected to receive the award, which supports UW students with physical disabilities in achieving their academic goals.

Each award, ranging from $1,000 to $2,500, is intended to help cover tuition or school-related expenses, including personal care assistants (PCAs). The fund prioritizes students who, like Carl, use wheelchairs and/or rely on PCAs as part of their daily lives and academic journey.

The DO-IT Center is honored to distribute this scholarship on behalf of the Dunlap family and celebrate the legacy of Carl James Dunlap by supporting students who continue to break barriers in pursuit of higher education.
