The Skanner Foundation Announces Scholarship Recipients

The Skanner Foundation is proud to announce the 2018 recipients of its annual scholarship program.

Scholarships are available to undergraduate students who maintain full-time status at an accredited, post-secondary institution beginning in the fall of the year. Awards range from $1,000 to $2,500 and should be applied towards tuition, board and books.

Like each year, the awardees will be presented at The Skanner's annual Martin Luther King Jr. Breakfast, held on Jan. 15 at the Red Lion Hotel at Janzten Beach.

With 22 recipients, 2018 marks the largest number of scholarships to date, made possible through the generous support of our sponsors: Oregon Lottery, U.S. Forest Service, University of Oregon, Portland Community Reinvestment Initiatives, Prosper Portland, Providence Health & Services, Enterprise Holdings, UBER, Portland Community College, Kaiser Permanente, Pacific Power, UPS, Home Forward, Turner, and Wells Fargo.
