Dear Student
Thank you for your interest in the Spokane Lilac Festival and its Royalty Scholarship program.
In order to be eligible, you must attend one of our informational meetings with a parent or legal
guardian. These meetings are an important opportunity for you to hear all about the Royalty program.
You’ll hear how the Royalty program is a wonderful, life changing experience, yet more importantly, just
as any activity; it is also very time consuming.
If upon attending the meeting, you determine the Spokane Lilac Festival Royalty Program is for you,
you’ll first need to touch base with your school advisor and then complete this ENTIRE candidate
application and agreement. Your completed application will include the following things:
One-page letter of intent (why do you want to be involved and what do you hope to gain?)
Fully executed (TYPED) Candidate Agreement (which includes the Bio form)
Wallet-sized face shot, color picture
Photo Release
Medical Release
Two Letters of Recommendation
Copy of current grade transcript (obtain through your counselor)
Once prepared, these items will need to be submitted as a package. Your school advisor has been
instructed to provide us with complete packages only. All applications are due at the Spokane Lilac
Festival Office no later than 3:30 p.m. on November 6, 2009.
Once again, thank you for your interest. Good luck! And no matter what, don’t forget to have fun during
this selection process. We are looking forward to getting to know you.
Sincerely,
Elisabeth Hooker, Spokane Lilac Festival
Vice President of Royalty 2009-2010
