WPEA Scholarship Program

Welcome to the WPEA Scholarship Application page!


​The Washington Public Employees Association (WPEA) is dedicated to empowering union members and their families through education. 

Our mission is to support your academic goals and help you achieve success, and we’re proud to continue this commitment by offering college scholarships. Led by the Executive Board's Scholarship Committee, we make it simple to apply with just a few easy steps. 

To be considered for this year's awards, you must:
  • Be a member or have a family member in good standing—this means you’ve signed your membership card and pay your dues.
  • Complete the scholarship application, including your essay, and submit it as a single PDF via email by the deadline.

We’re excited to support your educational journey!

Applications for the 2025 award cycle will be accepted between March 18th and May 30th!
