Washington State Fair Foundation

Congratulations to Jahlil Dean, a Lincoln High School student and recipient of a $5,000 Fair Chance Scholarship!

Jeff and Kelly Chambers had the honor of presenting the scholarship to Jahlil in Tacoma, making the moment even more meaningful as Kelly is a proud Lincoln alumna.

Jahlil plans to attend Western Washington University to study forestry, wildlife and fisheries. We’re so excited to cheer him on as he takes this next step toward his future!
