Upon his retirement in 1998, Mr. Saletic was President and Chief Executive Officer of Peter Pan Seafoods, a Seattle company where he had served for 22 years. Friends, family, and business associates established The Saletic Endowment to honor Mr. Saletic’s memory, particularly his interest in history and politics.

Students with a GPA of 2.5 or above are encouraged to apply. The award is not renewable.
