Scholarship Overview
The Egland Family offers $3,000.00 to a West Linn high school senior interested in pursuing a career in Business (with a proven track record in Community Service). In partnership with the West Linn Lions Club, this scholarship remembers Eric GlenAlan Egland; a resident of West Linn for 27 years. Eric attended the University of Oregon and graduated from Portland State University with a degree in Business. He was a beloved husband of nearly 44 years, father of 4 West Linn High School graduates, and grandfather of two. Eric was a long-time member of the West Linn Lions Club and unselfishly volunteered his time, talent, and treasure in many ways to positively impact the world around him. The primary scholarship funding mechanism has been through family and friend’s donations. Online (see button below) or cash contributions are encouraged through the Lions Foundation of West Linn (a 501(c)(3) organization) with confirmation available for tax purposes. A key component of the scholarship fundraising success has been that every dollar raised goes directly to scholarships. How to Apply:
The easiest way to apply is to fill out an application online, go to https://forms.gle/3ms9aqbY6SzquWNw6. This will submit your Google forms application directly to the Egland family. Otherwise, if you have a Naviance Student/parent account, go online and search for Egland Family scholarship. If you don't have an account or if you have problems finding information on Naviance, email the WLHS College and Career Coordinator for an application. Return the completed application to the WLHS College Councilor. Finally, if you still have problems, please call our Scholarships Committee Chairman (Ron Adams) at 503-636-8444 or contact the Club on the Contact us webpage. Selection Process: Received applications are reviewed for completeness. Depending on the number of applications received, the Egland Family selects finalists to be interviewed. The Egland Family will interview each finalist via Zoom or in person. They will then deliberate to select a winner of this year's scholarship. Winners: Scholarship winners will be announced at the WLHS Evening of Excellence. WLHS delivers the scholarships directly to the winner’s college or university to aid in their tuition. Endowment:
The Egland Family has also established an endowment to aid in providing scholarship grants. As it continues to grow, the Egland Family will be able to use the investment gains to provide more scholarships or increase the amount granted. You can make tax-deductible donations to the endowment through our Lions Foundation of West Linn, a 501(c)(3) certified non-profit entity. |
