Congratulations to senior KayDence Fairfield-Anderson! Announcing KayDence has been selected to be the recipient of the Ford Family Scholarship!
The Ford Family Foundation has several college scholarship programs that are awarded each year and our Scholars often share that the award is about "so much more than the money." Receiving a Ford Family Foundation scholarship means that Scholars are welcomed into a community that will support them throughout their academic journey and beyond.
The Ford Scholars Program is a highly selective scholarship that awards students from Oregon and Siskiyou County, California who are planning to complete a four-year degree at a college in their home state. Awards vary by individual circumstance, covering 90% of each student's unmet financial need, from $1,000 to $40,000 per year. The average Ford Scholars scholarship award for 2025-26 is $13,800.
The students selected have shown exceptional potential and motivation to succeed in college. They have also demonstrated care for their community, a strong work ethic, leadership potential, and an overall outstanding character.
