PORTLAND, Ore. — The Harrington Family Foundation (HFF) recently announced the recipients of its ninth annual Oregon Community Leadership Scholarship. Four Oregon high school students were selected to receive a $5,000 four-year renewable scholarship, totaling $20,000 per student, at an accredited Oregon university, college or trade school.
“Each year we have the privilege of selecting the next generation of leaders in our state who seek financial and mentorship support as they tackle real systemic issues in our local community. Our 2022 community leadership scholarship recipients possess the drive, tenacity and innovation that will transform Oregon for the better,” said Joey Harrington, founder of the Harrington Family Foundation, former NFL quarterback. “I am excited to see how they will impact our collective future.”
This need-based scholarship focuses on an individual’s involvement in their community, rather than academic or athletic performance. In order to be eligible for the scholarship, applicants must achieve a high school diploma or GED; commit to attending an accredited Oregon university, college or trade school; and demonstrate community leadership and financial need.
The Scholarship Advisory Committee selects scholarship recipients based on strong community leadership, financial need and ‘something special’ – where a student stands out among their peers. The scholarship application is open to Oregon high school seniors from November to March of each academic year, and recipients are awarded by the first week of May. The 2022 scholarship application will open on the Harrington Family Foundation website November 1, 2022.
The 2022 Oregon Community Leadership Scholarship recipients are:
