The Merle Prim Scholarship for Diversity and Inclusion

The Prim scholarship is available to ethnic minority students who are Psychology or Behavioral Neuroscience majors and have a demonstrated financial need. Currently the Prim Scholarship awards a tuition gift of $1000 per year to the winning applicant. The College of Humanities and Social Sciences and the Psychology Department at Western Washington University would like to get the scholarship to award a full tuition gift of $8000 per year. 

We need to get the Prim Endowment to a principal balance of $200,000 to achieve our 'Full-Tuition' Goal. We are nearly there and have secured a matching gift of $40,000 to reach our goal. That means every dollar you donate doubles not only your donation but the opportunity for a student of color at Western.  Help students of color and financial need realize the dream of making a difference in the lives of others by putting us over the top of the $200,000 goal.
