Elise Saba, who will be receiving a bachelor’s degree in English, has been awarded a President’s Medal for scholarship as a transfer student -- an award given to a student who entered the UW with at least 60 transfer credits from a Washington community college.
Saba transferred to the UW from North Seattle Community College, where she had been named to the President’s List for her high scholarship, and also to the Phi Theta Kappa honor society for community college students.
At the UW, Saba has been a Mary Gates Leadership Scholar and a member of Phi Beta Kappa honor society. She also has been a member of departmental honors in English. Her first publication in fiction appeared in the Daily, the UW student newspaper, in March.
Saba is proud of the fact that she was home schooled through 10th grade. "It was one of the best gifts a mother could have ever given her child," she said.
