PALMER SCHOLARS EXISTS TO BRIDGE THE GAP BETWEEN POTENTIAL AND OPPORTUNITY.
We count on our annual Stand Up & Cheer event as our largest source of individual donations. The generosity of this community enables us to provide wrap-around support to underrepresented Pierce County young adults of color to overcome social, cultural, and financial barriers in their pursuit of higher education and family-wage careers.
Palmer Scholars has grown significantly over the past few years.
Our rapid growth has allowed us to keep up with the growing needs of the young adults we serve.
Wherever they start, whatever their path, we are committed to
guiding our Scholars towards their educational and professional goals.
Stay tuned for announcements regarding our 2025 Stand Up and Cheer Event!
Don't miss this uplifting occasion!
