Stanley Ann Dunham Scholarship Fund

The Stanley Ann Dunham Scholarship Fund honors President Barack Obama’s mother who attended Eckstein Middle School, Mercer Island High School, and the University of Washington (1955-1961). Dr. Dunham’s commitment to social activism, global citizenship and educational excellence was exemplary, as she became a pioneering anthropologist working to improve the lives of marginalized communities around the world. The Fund’s mission is to empower young women to be leaders and active world citizens through education and service.

Each year, the Stanley Ann Dunham Scholarship Fund awards $5,000 college scholarships to graduating high school women who demonstrate a commitment to the values of Dr. Stanley Ann Dunham.
