Coordinated by -  Woodinville Rotary Club

2010 Value -  $ 1,500 

Eligibility - Open to all graduating seniors 
of Northshore School District secondary schools.

Purpose & Criteria - To encourage 
students in the pursuit of a career in print communications. Applicants must demonstrate financial need, academic potential to succeed beyond high school, and a record of student-level experiences or interests in communications.  Evidence of service to school and community will be considered. Students should submit samples of their work.

Application & Selection - Finalists will 
be interviewed by a committee of professionals and educators in the field of journalism and communications. Candidates should use the standard school district application form.

   Memorials - The scholarship was originally awarded in memory of Jon M. Malinowski of  Woodinville who died in an auto accident while in high school several years prior to the 1984 formation of the Foundation. Family and friends established a memorial fund in Jon's memory in recognition of the family's interest in journalism and education. The fund was merged with several others in providing the asset base for the Foundation. 

    Originally a middle school teacher, Jon's mother was news editor of the Northshore Citizen at the time of his death. She later became public information officer for the Northshore School District prior to retirement.

  The memorial account was secured in the spring of 2002 with a $2,500 grant from Peter Horvitz of Horvitz Newspapers which published the King County Journal daily newspapers and the weekly Reporter newspapers in Bothell, Kenmore and  Redmond and the Snoqualmie Valley Record and Mercer Island Reporter.

  Upon his death in the fall of 2002, friends and family added contributions to the Communications scholarship account in the name of Ted Marston, a well-known publicist and writer in the field of horticulture. A native of Iowa, Ted Marston came to Woodinville to operate a greenhouse business on the present-day Chateau Ste. Michelle site south of downtown Woodinville. He later published a national gardening magazine prior to concentrating in field of garden writing.

   The families have agreed to award future scholarships in the memory of Jon, Paul and Ted.
