Our Scholars & Donors
This scholarship provides me with the means to pursue my educational goals but also motivates me to give back to this community. I am eager to honor your investment in my future.
Our family wanted to create a scholarship that recognizes community service and volunteerism, but we didn’t know where to start. Thanks to the Education Foundation, we’re now supporting amazing students every year as they strive to improve the world around them.
Thank you for your continued support of the arts in our schools. You have let me be creative with the kids and my program is flourishing because of it.

Columbia Gorge Sternwheeler Field Trip
The Field Trip Grant provided us with the opportunity to extend our learning from the classroom to the Columbia River. Taking a ride on the Columbia Gorge Sternwheeler was an ideal educational adventure for our 8th grade learners and staff. This experience allowed our students the opportunity to connect their learning targets directly to the native history of our region.

From Garden to Table
"It was the best feeling when we saw the excitement and pride on the students faces both when they saw their plants germinate and grow and then again when we were able to harvest and use the ingredients in our end of year salad and salsa. Thank you for allowing us the opportunity to purchase items to help further the learning and life skills of our most impacted students."
