Any opportunity to receive a scholarship to help gain the education that I’m striving for is a blessing. I see a scholarship as someone believing in my abilities and investing in my career. Thank you for believing in me and helping in my college journey.

After I graduate, I plan on working as an engineer and work my way up to a project manager for a construction company. The company I want to work at specializes in retaining walls and works in Oregon and Washington.

I chose George Fox University because of the faith-based learning and the opportunity to play football. My older brother went to GFU and, after seeing his experience, I knew it would be the place I would find my home.

This scholarship helps me to focus on my classes and senior project. I can dedicate more time to my classes and extracurricular activities like clubs. I want to give a special thank you to the donors of the PCC Structurals Scholarship. You are helping me to better myself and the individuals around me.

After graduation, I plan to attend graduate school. I want to gain more experience in computer science and pursue software engineering.

I am very thankful for this scholarship as it has allowed me to continue my educational journey. It has helped me and my family offload a financial burden to allow me to pursue school full-time and have these amazing experiences in college; shaping me into a person to help my community and give back in the future. Thank you.

After I graduate, I plan to attend medical school so I can become a doctor to treat underserved populations. My ultimate goal is to give greater access to care and advocate for public health.

I chose Reed due to its immense love of learning. When I saw my peers furthering their passions and the great amount of support from other students and professors, I knew it was the right place for me. I'm a biology major because I love understanding the micro perspective of how life works and the mechanisms that allow us to cohabit on this planet and do so many amazing things each day. I am also passionate about sociology, studying societal mechanisms, and their impacts; it is amazing to see biology and sociology intertwine and ways we can better our world.

This scholarship is meaningful to me because it pushes me to work harder in school because PCC Structurals was very generous to provide me with financial help. It lightens the burden of paying for my education and I am forever grateful for this opportunity.

After graduation, I plan to attend an accelerated nursing program and become a certified registered nurse. I would like to gain a year of experience working in the intensive care unit to better prepare for when I apply to a nurse anesthesia program, where I will learn to become a certified registered nurse of anesthesia.

As a first-generation college student and Latina, there are many obstacles that come when pursuing higher education. I worked full time while studying to help lessen my parents' expenses during my first and second year at WU, and helped my younger siblings with their studies. Your support has allowed me to become engrained in the Willamette community and participate in what I am passionate about. I am currently the Co-President of Alianza, where we foster a community for our fellow Latinx, and fundraiser for our Diversity Scholarship that helps aid Latinx students in the pursuit of higher education. I'm also a CA where I teach class sessions to our first years. These opportunities have allowed me to create meaningful connections with others that I treasure dearly. Thank you for all your support!

Willamette University is a small school that fosters connection with your professors and the community around you. Majoring in economics allows me an insight into the interlacing forces that make our world function. Also, it allows me to view how I fit within the system and how I can influence change to help underrepresented communities.

work for non-profit organizations and attend grad school centering on public policy.

Education is important to me. I am very serious about my studies and furthering my education and with this scholarship I can fulfill that dream. Thank you for choosing me for this scholarship!

Work in a place where I can fulfill my business degree and have a hands-on job.

This scholarship helps me pay for college. As I have to start saving up for graduate school, I appreciate you giving me a head start. Thank you for giving me a scholarship for my sophomore year, as well. This helps me so much. 🙂

I chose Linfield University because my parents live in McMinnville and they wanted me to stay close. I chose computer science as my major because the industry is going to double in ten years, and everything needs technology.

apply for graduate school at Oregon State University and earn a master’s in computer science.

The huge financial stress and burden of college is always lingering at the back of my mind. I'm not the only one in my family going to college, so my parents are supporting more than just me. I am thankful for the help to ease some of my worries, as well as lift some of the burden off my parents' shoulders. Thank you very much for this scholarship.

Enter the workforce in the field of data science or other related position.

It has made college so much more accessible for me. Without this scholarship, I wouldn't be able to earn a higher education.

work at an accounting firm or something that has to do with finance. After working there for 2-4 years, I will venture off and open my own business.

I choose Warner Pacific for soccer. I ended up loving the university and enjoyed the small class sizes and forming personal relationships with professors. I chose to study finance and accounting because I've always enjoyed business and didn't mind the technical parts of it.

This scholarship was super meaningful to me and my family because tuition is costly and finding money to cover the expenses is very tough. So, this is very much appreciated from me and my family, thank you so much!

After graduation, I plan to play professional basketball and, after, build a business.
