ABOUT THE WWLOA SCHOLARSHIP

If you are an active WWLOA Junior Official and High School senior, or if you are an active WWLOA Adult Official and student enrolled in a college or technical/trade school program, we’d like to offer you the opportunity to add up to $750 to your education fund.

In the Spring of 2023, the Washington Women’s Lacrosse Officials Association started allocating funding for up to two $750 scholarships to WWLOA officials who have been positively impacted by their years officiating, and meet the scholarship criteria listed below. 

APPLICATION REQUIREMENTS: for this scholarship, you must be a current WWLOA official, and either:

A) be a High School senior planning to enroll in continuing education next year, or 

B) be an existing student in a college or technical/trade school program. 

For 2025, we will grant up to two scholarships, up to $750 each.

This scholarship is to be used for tuition or school-related fees only. For High School seniors, the scholarship will be applied to fees incurred in your upcoming term within the academic year following HS graduation. For adults currently enrolled in a college or technical school, the scholarship will be applied to fees incurred in the term immediately following the scholarship award announcement.

• Meets application requirements
• Compelling or inspiring essay/application presentation
• Strong officiating history; upholding the “spirit of the game”
• Number of games and/or length of experience officiating
• Any awards or accolades regarding officiating
• Any volunteer efforts in support of women’s lacrosse
• Any recommendation from a Coach / Educator

We ask that you demonstrate how officiating with WWLOA helped you overcome a challenge and/or positively impacted you in other areas of your life -- academically or professionally. Please tell us more about your current or future school choice and relate how this scholarship would benefit your educational/career path. The application form link is below.

Your application will be reviewed by a committee of WWLOA board members. If the WWLOA board requires zoom interviews, they may do so at their discretion. The candidate(s) selected for the scholarship will be notified in June. Award recipients must be willing to share their name and excerpts of their application submission with the WWLOA community, as well as on the WWLOA website.
