About the scholarship
During her lifetime, Gina Grant Bull served Washington in both the Legislature and at the community level. In every role, from Legislative Assistant to House Page Supervisor to teacher to coach, Gina went out of her way to make everyone feel welcome and like a valued member of the institutional family.
The Page Program and the pages held a special place in Gina’s heart. Before she unexpectedly passed away in 2016, her mission was to extend this opportunity to all students in Washington, regardless of economic status. This scholarship honors her service and dedication.
This scholarship's goal is to encourage all students, regardless of income level, to participate in the Page Program by helping offset the expense of traveling to and staying in Olympia for the week. By reducing the financial burden and raising awareness of the program, the legislature hopes to make participation in this great educational opportunity economically feasible for more students across Washington.
Apply for the scholarship
The Gina Grant Bull Memorial Legislative Page Scholarship is intended to support families who demonstrate financial need. We encourage those who qualify to submit an application. All information will be kept confidential, and the award process will be administered in a discreet and respectful manner.
The scholarship uses the Federal Reduced-Price lunch qualifications to assess need. Applicants must supply a copy of the letter of approval issued by the school district after the free and reduced lunch application is processed. For homeschooled students or students attending a school that does not participate in the federal lunch program, a copy of the benefits received from Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF), Basic Food/Electronic Benefits Transfer(EBT), Food Distribution Program on Indian Reservations (FDPIR), McKinney Vento Act, or foster care can serve as an equivalent document.
Applying for the scholarship will not help or hurt your likelihood of acceptance into the Page Program. Scholarship applications must be received no later than 2 weeks prior to paging.
To apply, please submit a completed scholarship application form and all accompanying documents.
