Douglass M. Hamilton Memorial Scholarship
With costs constantly rising, college can be difficult to afford for students of many socioeconomic levels.
Low-income students, in particular, face significant burdens when attempting to pursue higher education. From having less freedom in choosing between schools to having to balance academics with work responsibilities to being burdened by student loans, low-income students often have a lot to worry about while pursuing their degrees.
This scholarship aims to honor the memory of Douglass M. Hamilton by helping low-income students pursue higher education.
Any low-income student in Oregon, who is a first generation college student, may apply for this exclusive scholarship opportunity.
