$117,000 Awarded in College Scholarships

Posted on July 2, 2018

Hood River Valley High School seniors went home from Scholarship Awards Night with over $75,750 in Hood River County Education Foundation (HRCEF) funds for their post-secondary educations.   In addition, the Education Foundation announced that recipients of HRCEF Continuing College scholarships will receive over $41,250, for a total record disbursement of $117,000 in HRCEF Scholarships this year.

The Education Foundation manages 32 freshman scholarship funds and six continuing college scholarships, donated by Hood River residents and their friends and families.  In addition, five freshman scholarships may be renewed for additional years.

Sixty-three different scholarships were awarded to 50 HRV students in the class of 2018, with some students receiving up to three scholarships.  Eighteen continuing college scholarships were awarded to HRVHS graduates for their 2018-19 sophomore, junior or senior years in college.

“Scholarships send several important messages to our graduates” said Chuck Bugge, former superintendent and current HRCEF Scholarship Chair.  “First and foremost: Our community cares about our young adults and wants them to succeed; second: high school is not their last step in furthering their education; and lastly: achievement and excellence has its rewards.  Many of these young men and women go on to excel in college or a specialized training program and return to improve our community. They become our leaders of tomorrow.  I can think of no better investment”.

The Cascade Locks Alumni Association and the James and Wayne Holman Fund awarded two freshman scholarships and seven continuing college scholarship this year, continuing a long tradition of support for post-secondary education to Cascade Locks students from their own community.  New scholarships this year included the Hogg Family Scholarship, Beardsley Family Scholarship, Jim Carnes Memorial Scholarship, and Carmen’s Route Scholarship, all funded by local families in the Gorge.

One of the most unique HRCEF scholarships is the Nathan Hazlett Memorial Scholarship which provides funding for an aviation degree for a student wanting to be a professional pilot.
