Palmer Scholars Welcomes 25 Scholars for the Class of 2022 Cohort

We are excited to announce that we have recently chosen 25 Scholars from Pierce County high schools to join the Palmer Scholars Class of 2022 cohort! Scholars completed their application to Palmer Scholars in December 2020 and took part in virtual interviews throughout the month of February. Palmer Scholars' selection committee took multiple factors into consideration when accepting Scholars, including an applicant's commitment to serving their community and ability to persevere through hardship. While we wish we could have offered admittance to all 134 applicants, we are committed to providing the highest level of service to our Scholars. Admitted Scholars represent 12 high schools across Pierce County. For privacy purposes, we are only releasing Scholars' first names and accompanying high school. Admitted Scholars include:
