Hello ,
Respond to Racism is thrilled to announce our new scholarship program!! Please share this with Lake Oswego students and residents.
The Gloria Brown Memorial Scholarship Application can be found on our website. Also on our website is a video with information about Gloria and the scholarship: https://www.respondtoracism.org/
Gloria Brown was a woman who lived her life without boundaries, becoming the first African American woman forest supervisor at the US Forest Service and solidifying herself as a pioneer in her field. She was a champion for social and racial justice.
One of her core
beliefs and values was providing opportunities to those who are underrepresented because she knew far too often, talented individuals get overlooked. It is our hope through The Gloria Brown Scholarship that Respond to Racism can help the next generation of underrepresented students get an opportunity to succeed and thrive through education.
Respond to Racism will grant two scholarships. Each scholarship will be $2,000.
