I’m currently attending Oregon Tech and studying medical imaging. I will pursue a career in diagnostic medical sonography, which is ultrasound. The scholarship has helped make my schooling possible. Earning a scholarship is wonderful and this scholarship has definitely helped tremendously.
“I’m going to UCC in the welding program. I’m in the second year at UCC. I think it’s really cool that some of the things that I built, you can actually still see around town.”
“I currently attend Chemeketa Community College and I’m an electricians apprentice. Sutherlin Throwdown Scholarship and all of the sponsors have helped me tremendously because there really isn’t scholarships out there for people who’ve already graduated and are going back to school. Qanting all these young minds to understand that trades are awesome and it’s a great opportunity”
