Four Clover Park School District seniors have earned Act Six Scholarships. The Act Six Leadership and Scholarship Initiative is the Northwest’s only full-tuition, full-need scholarship for emerging urban and community leaders who want to use their college education to make a difference on campus and in their communities at home. According to Act Six, the students were selected through a rigorous three-month competition among more than 900 applicants. They were chosen for their distinctive leadership, academic potential and commitment to making a difference in their communities.
