John Price Scholarships and 56th Annual Estate Planning Seminar

On October 31 and November 1, the Estate Planning Council of Seattle and the Washington State Bar Association will sponsor the 56th Annual Estate Planning Seminar. This is the second largest estate planning seminar in the country, with over 1,000 in attendance each year. If you would like a copy of the brochure for this year's program, please let me know. I strongly encourage those of you interested in a career as an estate planner to attend this conference. It is a great opportunity to network with potential employers and the substance of the program is top-notch.

The Washington State Bar Association is offering three "John Price Scholarships" to three students enrolled in the UW Graduate Program in Taxation. These scholarships, named after Professor John Price, a former Dean of the School of Law and a world-renowned estate planner, offer complimentary admission to the conference together with a complimentary set of course materials for the entire program. Lunch is not included with these scholarships.

If you would like to be considered for one of the John Price Scholarships, please send me an email (hla3@uw.edu) as soon as possible. If more than three students indicate interest prior to 5:00 p.m. on Wednesday, October 5, there will be a lottery to award the scholarships. The results of any such lottery will be announced on Thursday, October 6. Winners will be expected to submit information to claim the scholarship by Friday, October 7.
