Educator Recognition Award

ÃÛѨÊÓƵ values the dedication, hard work and invisible labor that educators, many of which are ÃÛѨÊÓƵ alumni, invest in student development. Beginning fall 2023, the Educator Recognition Award is granted to first-year and transfer students starting their ÃÛѨÊÓƵ studies on the McMinnville Campus whose parent or spouse are current K-12 educators. We believe educators in all K-12 roles make impactful contributions in the lives of students and are uniquely positioned to help future Wildcats thrive at ÃÛѨÊÓƵ.

In appreciation of the educator commitment to students, ÃÛѨÊÓƵ will award an additional $1,000 scholarship renewable for four years while students meet satisfactory academic progress toward graduation.
