This program was started in 2002 to recognize high school junior girls in Whatcom County who excel in mathematics, science and technology.  Each high school may select one student in each of the three areas.  The young women are invited, along with their families, to a special “Scholars Recognition Program” held in the Spring.  Past venues have included the Pickford Theater, the Spark Museum of Electrical Invention, formerly the American Museum of Radio and Electricity.  The Spark Museum, Whatcom County Museum, WWU College of Sciences and Technology and the BP Cherry Point Refinery have been generous supporters of this event.
