Program Updates

The Beat the Odds Scholarship Program highlights the incredible potential of Oregon’s young people and sheds light on the very real challenges which prevent too many of them from succeeding.

The Portland Community College Foundation’s first-ever comprehensive fundraising campaign is receiving its largest gift.

We’re overwhelmed by the tremendous response to our Beat the Odds scholarship awards and fundraiser last week. In every sense of the phrase, this year’s event raised the bar above all others.

The PCC Foundation Gala themed “An Evening for Opportunity, Lunar Landing: A Space Age Gala,” raised a record $425,000 that will go toward student scholarships and success programs.

First generation undergraduate students have a new reason to consider teaching as a career. Prospective students in the teacher education program at PSU who are the first in their family to receive an undergraduate degree may now apply to TRF’s GSE scholarship program.

PSU has named Arlene Schnitzer and Jordan Schnitzer and Irving Levin and Stephanie Fowler as the honorees for the 13^th annual Simon Benson Awards.
