What is the WSWCA/Graham Baker Morin Memorial Scholarship?  

The Washington State Wrestling Coaches Association (WSWCA) and the family of Graham Baker Morin, a former three time Washington State High School Wrestling Champion and two time All-American, are jointly creating a scholarship to reward and assist Washington scholar athletes who plan to continue wrestling in college. This scholarship is intended to provide an incentive to scholar athletes to exhibit leadership, sportsmanship, and academic success. This scholarship program is administered by Scholarship America, a national non-profit educational support and student aid service organization. The primary award is a $5,000 scholarship awarded over 2 years ($2500 each year). Our goal is to award additional scholarships as ongoing fundraising permits. A new scholarship started in 2010 for community college programs in Washington (currently Highline CC and Yakima Valley CC) will be awarded at $500 each school.
