The Linda Howard Scholarship Fund was established in the memory of Linda Howard who provided many years of dedicated service to the Seattle School District. It is the wish of her family and friends that an award be made each year in the amount of $1,500 to a graduate of the Seattle School District who is satisfactorily progressing towards a degree at a college or university within the state of Washington.
