Welcome the 2025 DO-IT Scholars!

This summer, DO-IT will welcome it’s thirty-third cohort of DO-IT Scholars to Summer Study. During the first week, Scholars connect with us from across the state via Zoom and Canvas. We get to spend time together exploring the transition to college, disability history, and building our community. We welcome the Phase 1, Phase 2 and interns to campus for the second week. Scholars get to experience life on a large college campus, participate in experiential learning, and continue building their networking community. DO-IT strives to build a fun, safe and inclusive experience.

Our 2025 DO-IT Scholars come from across Washington state, including Colville, Yakima, Thorp, Puyallup, Olympia, Tacoma, Edmonds, Sammamish, Bellevue, Redmond, and Issaquah. They have interests in computer science, chemistry, fire science, English, biology, history, math, physics, science, writing, band, leadership, culinary arts, education, robotics, engineering, zoology, law, environmental science, public policy, acting, language arts and psychology.

For students, the DO-IT Scholars Program initially spans three years (Phase 1, Phase 2, and Intern Year) and offers exploration of college programs and support for Scholars as they apply for and pursue post-secondary education. Students are encouraged to stay involved throughout their lifetime as mentors. Primary funding for the Scholars program is provided by Washington State.
