It's that time of year again when WPC honors the legacy of the late Congresswoman Jennifer Dunn-Thomson by soliciting applications for the scholarship we sponsor in her name.

In 2005, Washington Policy Center (WPC) honored Congresswoman Jennifer Dunn with our annual Champion of Freedom Award to honor her strong leadership, support of free‐market principles and being a friend to small businesses and taxpayers on the death-tax repeal. After her untimely death in 2007, her widower Keith Thomson approached WPC about honoring his late wife through a scholarship to support young women interested in public policy. He endowed the First Five years and WPC continues the scholarship through the generous support of three of our board members. Recipients can use the scholarship to pay for tuition at their college/ university or fund a summer internship on Capitol Hill in Washington, DC.
