This event recognized and honored incoming freshmen along with their families for their hard work and dedication which led to the obtainment of academic scholarships.

Thirty Eight scholars were invited from Eastern Washington and Tri-Cities High Schools including AC Davis in Yakima, Kamiakin, Sunnyside, Toppenish, Mabton, Prosser, Pasco, Highland, Southridge, Eisenhower, Grandview, and West Valley.
