The Martin Luther King Jr. Scholarship Fund, founded in 1985 by a group of neighbors in Seattle's Mount Baker community, is dedicated to helping deserving students achieve the dream of higher education. This scholarship, a sponsored activity of the Mount Baker Community Club, supports high school seniors who demonstrate financial need, academic promise, have overcome obstacles, and actively contribute to their community.

Last month, the 40th annual MLK Jr Scholarship Fund awards ceremony took place at the Mount Baker Community Club, where 24 high school students received scholarships for their college education.
