Greetings Pullman Scholar and Alumni Community,
On behalf of the Foundation, I send heartfelt congratulations to the 2020 cohort of
graduating Pullman Scholars! With the help of the Pullman Educational Foundation,
this graduating class succeeded in earning their degrees and are ready to start their
careers. Please join me in celebrating their accomplishments and welcoming them as
new Pullman Alumni.
The average cumulative GPA of the senior class is an impressive 3.59. 80% of seniors
report that they are graduating debt-free. The average student loan debt among the
remaining graduating scholars is $3,703, which equates to just 10% of the student debt
national average of over $37,338. Combined with year-round programs and other
supports, Pullman Scholarships create an immediate impact on scholars’ ability to
embark on the next phase of their college and career plans without the stress of carrying
a significant financial burden with them.
Every day - and every year - Pullman Scholars show us what forms of support make a
transformational difference in their lives: straightforward financial awards they can
depend on, relevant seminars and informational resources, a sense of community and
connection, and our unwavering belief in them. The rest - hard work, creativity, tenacity,
courage, and confidence - is within them. It is truly a gift to know precisely how to help
these remarkable and talented scholars with their journey.
We deeply appreciate the Pullman Alumni Scholar Selection Committee for their vital
work in this year’s application process to help select our 75th Class of new Pullman
Scholars. We will announce the new scholars’ names and respective attending
institutions in the weeks ahead.
Wishing you all a wonderful summer full of sun and fun!
