I’ve been volunteering at Rainier Scholars for close to ten years now – the last eight of which writing stories for their newsletter. I love it. I think it is the best volunteer gig in Seattle. Why? First off, in the complicated and contentious world of...
At Rainier Scholars our summer session begins each day with a program assembly. It’s a time when the entire community comes together, daily announcements are made, PIC Awards (Perseverance, Integrity and Courage) are recognized and Academic Director Sumiko Huff...
On a sunny morning during the first few days of summer classes, our newest cohort of Rainier Scholars, Cohort XIII, contemplated this question as they bent over their sheets of paper. I was witnessing the making of the “time capsule,” one of the many traditions of the...

In light of public health concerns and in consultation with our Board of Trustees, we have made the difficult decision to cancel our April 22nd luncheon.
Due to the uncertainty ahead in the coming weeks and months, we have decided not to reschedule the event at this time. This is especially hard for us given that we are celebrating 20 years of impact, and held great anticipation and excitement for the gathering we had planned.
As you may know, our luncheon is our largest fundraising event of the year, generating 35-40% of our annual operating budget. Please stay tuned for an upcoming spring campaign, featuring scholar and alumni stories that will inspire you, as well as opportunities to invest in our program.
While we are deeply disappointed to miss a community-wide celebration during our milestone anniversary, we remain laser-focused on supporting our scholars and families, many of whom are now more vulnerable than ever.
Resilience and community support have been hallmarks of our program for the past 20 years.
We are relying on both during these challenging times.
As a result of school closures and guidance from King County Public Health, we are CANCELING ALL RAINIER SCHOLARS INTERVIEW AND READING AND MATH ASSESSMENTS at this time.
Please continue to monitor your email and phone for messages from Rainier Scholars. We hope to update you soon with information about how we plan to move forward with our recruitment process for Cohort 20.
