The Western Prince Undergraduate Scholarship
Who We Are
We are a Washington-based Whale Watching company determined to provide a unique and educational experience in the San Juan Islands.
With every excursion, the Western Prince team aims to educate our passengers about the wildlife and natural beauty of the Pacific Northwest. Our hope is that future generations will want to share and protect this region and its inhabitants just like us. That’s why we’ve founded our first ever undergraduate scholarship.
