Let’s stay connected

Welcome to your Rainier Scholars “home” for alumni – a place to stay up-to-date with news, events, resources and ways to keep up with some of the most interesting people on the planet. Whether you are a recent graduate or an alum of several years, you will forever be a member of the Rainier Scholars family.

A growing network of alumni

Our first college graduates emerged in spring of 2013, with a new class joining the alumni ranks each year.

Alumni Affairs Council

Our Alumni Affairs Council is proud to support our growing alumni network. There are three major themes to the Alumni Affairs:

FUNraising
FRIENDraising
FUNDraising

A world where all individuals have equal access to educational and professional opportunities with the freedom to explore and achieve their full potential.

RS Alumni are committed to fostering the awareness and continual success of the organization through lifelong advocacy of equal access to education and professional networking for students from under-served backgrounds.

We aim to establish a positive cycle of community development by promoting intra-cohort achievement and providing mentorship to successive generations of Rainier Scholars.

Join us for an upcoming Alumni Council meeting!

Stay connected

Give back

It is meaningful to our community when our alumni give back. It is an affirmation of the program and its impact. Because many graduates are just starting out in a new job and getting that first apartment, the act of giving is most important, not the amount. Every gift signals that this is a program you are proud of and want to endorse.
