Future Focus:
Washington State’s Next Chapter
Thank you for joining us to celebrate 15 years of Washington State Opportunity Scholarship’s impact at OpportunityTalks! This year’s event brought together Opportunity Scholars, alum, and leaders across business, government, and higher education to honor how far we’ve come and look ahead to the future we’re building together. With your support, we’ve raised over $635,000 and counting to support the next generation of Opportunity Scholars!
If you weren’t able to join us, you can still be part of this important work — please consider making a donation today. Thank you to everyone who attended, and to our sponsors and industry partners who made OpportunityTalks possible. Your support is creating pathways to opportunity for Scholars across Washington.

“What really helped me cross the finish line was mentorship. I went to school in 2015 and then graduated in 2019, but that was the early phase of the Washington State Opportunity Scholarship. They didn’t have a mentorship program back then. But what stood out to me is that they don’t just give you the money, but they give you the mentorship and the people.”
