Jenny Krueger Memorial Scholarship
In 2024, PNWARS will relaunch our scholarship program to deserving college students and we will do this in memory of beloved longtime PNWARS Board Member and forty year industry veteran, Jenny Krueger, who passed away in the fall of 2023.
The application is now open and submissions are due on Friday, September 6, 2024. Our 2024 recipient will be selected and announced in the fall.

Applicants must also be high school graduates and must be qualified to or be enrolled in full time undergraduate or graduate course of study at an eligible institution of higher education pursuing a business degree.
