Scholarship Description

The Carl James Dunlap Memorial Student Award, administered by the University of Washington DO-IT Center, seeks to support UW students with physical disabilities in achieving their education goals. The scholarship was established by the Dunlap family to honor the memory of UW student, Carl Dunlap. The Carl James Dunlap Memorial Student Award distributes funds to up to four UW students. The award amount is expected to be around $1,000 – $2,500 per student.

The purpose of each award is to help students pay for tuition and/or school-related expenses (e.g., personal care assistants – PCAs). The fund prioritizes awards for students who, like Carl, use a wheelchair and/or hire PCAs.
