The Power of Legacy: How Palmer Scholars Alumni Inspire the Next Generation


Our Alumni
Palmer Scholars Alumni

Legacy isn’t just about the past—it’s about the stories we carry forward, the people we uplift, and the paths we create for the future. At Palmer Scholars, legacy is carried forward in every Scholar who takes the next step, in every dream that becomes reality, and in every alum who returns to uplift the next generation.


Our alumni go on to do incredible things—pursuing careers in fields they’re passionate about, breaking barriers, and giving back to their communities. More than anything, they carry Palmer Scholars with them and use their success to help others.


What makes our alumni special isn’t just their achievements—it’s their heart. Many come back as mentors, guiding young Scholars who are just starting their journey. Others offer career advice, internship opportunities, or simply encouragement when it’s needed most. This support creates a ripple effect, turning individual success into collective change.


At Palmer Scholars, we celebrate not just where our Scholars have been, but where they’re headed. To our alumni: your stories inspire, your achievements light the way, and your commitment ensures that our legacy continues. If you’re a Palmer Scholars alum, we’d love to hear from you. Your journey fuels the dreams of those who follow in your footsteps, and together, we’re building a future full of opportunity and hope.

 SUPPORT OUR MISSION TODAY!

Palmer Scholars acknowledges that our work is carried out on, and our office space is located within, occupied Coast Salish land, specifically that of the Puyallup Tribe of Indians. We pay respect to Coast Salish Elders past and present and extend that respect to their descendants and to all Indigenous peoples. To acknowledge this land is to recognize its longer history and our place in that history; it is to recognize these lands and waters and their significance for the peoples who lived and continue to live in this region, whose practices and spiritualties were and are tied to the land and the water, and whose lives continue to enrich and develop in relationship to the land, waters, and other inhabitants today.

 

We also pause to recognize and acknowledge the labor upon which our country, state, and institutions are built.

We remember that our country is built on the labor of enslaved people who were kidnapped and brought to the U.S. from the African continent and recognize the continued contribution of their survivors. We also acknowledge all immigrant labor, including voluntary, involuntary, trafficked, forced, and undocumented peoples who contributed to the building of the country and continue to serve within our labor force. We acknowledge all unpaid care-giving labor.

 

To the people who contributed this immeasurable work and their descendants, we acknowledge our/their indelible mark on the spaces in which we operate today. It is our collective responsibility to critically interrogate these histories, to repair harm, and to honor, protect, and sustain this land.
