Bothell High School
Alumni Association
Each year, the Alumni Association awards two scholarships to deserving Bothell High School graduating seniors to help with their expenses for college or technical school. The Association's scholarship committee works through the Scholarship Foundation of Northshore in making those selections. Students apply through the Foundation, and applications are forwarded to the Association's committee for review. The committee interviews candidates and awards the scholarships based on both community service and scholastic achievement.
Scholarship recipients by year are on the Awards page.
2026 BHSAA SCHOLARSHIP RECIPIENTS
Aymara Chavez
Driven by Family, Passion, and Purpose Aymara Chavez is a student whose journey is deeply shaped by her family, her goals, and a profound commitment to others. Her parents have always been her greatest source of inspiration; though they lacked access to formal education themselves, they instilled in Aymara the values of respect, perseverance, and ambition. Because of them, she is a determined individual who is proud of her roots and driven to build a brighter future for her family and herself. Aymara has a clear vision for her future. Currently enrolled in the WANIC Dental Careers program at Lake Washington Institute of Technology, she is building the foundation for her career and plans to obtain her dental assistant license as soon as she turns 18. Her ultimate goal is to become a dental hygienist, a field she chose because it allows her to improve people’s confidence and well-being. For Aymara, helping someone smile is more than a career path; it is a way to make a meaningful impact. Beyond academics, Aymara is a dedicated community leader who consistently volunteers at her siblings’ schools and serves as a translator for local families. Throughout high school, she has played a vital role in advocating for her community, notably helping resolve local transportation issues. Her school involvement includes choir, soccer, and events like Posada. Additionally, Aymara shares her dental expertise by teaching elementary students about proper brushing and flossing as part of her professional training. With determination, resilience, and a strong support system behind her, Aymara is ready to continue moving forward with confidence and make a lasting difference in the lives of others.
For Aurora Maggart, a graduate of Bothell High School, the path forward is driven by both ambition and a deep sense of responsibility. She plans to stay in Washington and attend a private four-year college, beginning her journey toward becoming a neuroradiologist. Her goal includes earning a biology degree, attending medical school, completing a radiology residency, and pursuing a specialized fellowship. Aurora’s passion for healthcare stems from a lifelong desire to help others. Raised by a single mother and helping care for five younger siblings, she developed strong skills in leadership, time management, and compassion early on. These experiences continue to shape her goals—not only to succeed professionally but to support her family, help her siblings attend college, and give back to her community, especially to other single mothers. At Bothell High, Aurora was an active participant in orchestra and girls’ tennis, known for her reliability and encouragement. Outside of school, she stepped into leadership roles at home and at work, where she was promoted to an “All-Star” position, mentoring new employees and setting a strong example. With the support of this scholarship, Aurora is taking a meaningful step toward a future in healthcare—one rooted in service, resilience, and a commitment to lifting others along the way.
