Online Scholarship Training For Everyone

Why choose WAEF?

Why are we the legitimate source to tell students how to win scholarship money? The Washington Apple Education Foundation (WAEF) awards over one million dollars in scholarships each year to students who are connected to Washington’s tree fruit industry. In the past 25 years, WAEF has awarded over 9 million dollars to over 2000 students.

Why do we do this?

Why is this necessary? Every year, WAEF and its scholarship committees make note of those areas where students have struggled in the past, to ensure that future scholarship applicants don’t make the same mistakes.

Why make an effort?

Why should students make the effort? What do you believe all scholarship applicants share? They made the effort to submit a thorough application on time. Each year scholarships go un-awarded because the individual(s) possessing the qualifications did not apply.

Engineering DREAMS Take Flight

Luis Cortez

Luis Cortez turned a childhood in East Wenatchee into a launchpad for aerospace innovation. Raised by parents working full-time in the tree fruit industry, Luis graduated from the University of Washington with a degree in aerospace engineering and a spot on the Dean’s List. But his impact went far beyond the classroom—he led the Hull Team for the Human Powered Submarine Club, interned at AeroTEC, contributed to graduate-level research, and built rockets with a local Seattle club. Through it all, Luis lifted others, volunteering with the Society of Hispanic Professional Engineers to create a space where students like him felt seen and supported. His story proves that with heart, hustle, and hope, you can rise from humble beginnings to shape the future of flight.
