Hoodland Women’s Club (HWC) funds several scholarships for local high school graduates who reside within the Hoodland community boundaries. The club hosts an annual golf tournament and the proceeds from this tournament help fund four college scholarships, each in the amount of $2,500. While the scholarships are basically “needs-based,” other considerations are community involvement, extracurricular activities and academic success. This year the HWC had several scholarship applications and it was difficult to choose only four recipients.
A big congratulations to the following local high school students who were awarded the HWC College Scholarships: Abby Perez Aguilera, who will attend Linfield University and work toward a nursing degree; Elliott Chelsea, who will attend Corban University and plans to pursue medicine; Aubrey Perry, who will be attending Brigham Young University and will pursue a career in education; and Alexander Rose, who will be attending Oregon State University and plans to major in electrical engineering.
All of these students have diligently worked to get to where they are today and the HWC proudly cheers these students on as they further their education. We thank them and wish them the very best as they push forward on their career path. And a big thank you, too, to the community for helping us make this happen.
