Western Washington University incoming freshman Brianna Pruitt, daughter of Brian Pruitt and Sarah Brewer of Burien, received the $1,000 Bess Fosse Scholarship in Environmental Studies for the 2019-2020 academic year.

The Bess Fosse Scholarship provides support for a full-time undergraduate student majoring in Environmental Studies in Western’s Huxley College of the Environment. Preference is given to applicants who plan to work in a field that benefits the environment.
