Alyanna,

The budget proposed by the state House would restore full funding to WAVE. Write your legislators to let them know that’s your preference. You can find out how at http://www.ICWashington.org/AdvocacyCenter

For those who managed to get the WAVE, consider those who won’t be able to get it at all. I’m a senior who applied, and if it gets suspended I’ll have no way of re-applying since I shall no longer be a high school senior. Even if it is considered to be suspended for ONE year, I won’t have that chance, neither will 500 other seniors. I doubt the government would be willing to hand out an IOU for 500 applicants who won the award.

For the first time in 25 years… what luck we, of the 2010 class, have. Heh.

Heather,

It’s not a foregone conclusion. Use our Legislative Action Center to contact the governor and your legislators. Tell them how important WAVE is for your, and ask them to preserve funding in the new budget. Your voice can make a difference. Go to: http://www.ICWashington.org/AdvocacyCenter

I will lose my WAVE scholarship thanks to her great budget cutting. I worked hard for this scholarship and have been working hard to change around my life as an ex-addict. She always ruins everything that is set in place for people like me. SHE HAS GOT TO GO..
