In early 2023, Tillamook Coast Visitors Association established two $1,000 scholarships through the Tillamook Bay Community College Foundation. The scholarships support students enrolled in TBCC’s Nature & Outdoors program.
On Friday, October 20, 2023, students who received scholarships from the foundation were celebrated at the Mildred Davey Scholarship Foundation Luncheon at the Officer’s Mess at the Port of Tillamook Bay. Among them were the first two recipients of the TCVA scholarships, Jenn Holler and Zoey Floodman, who each received $1,000 from TCVA to further their studies.
“Tillamook Coast Visitors Association is proud to support TBCC and these students,” said Dan Haag, TCVA’s Trails & Outdoor Recreation Director.
Holler, who works part time at the Oregon Zoo, loves animals and is preparing for a career that helps preserve and protect wildlife. Floodman is looking forward to a career in forestry.
“It’s exciting to play a small part in helping create the next generation of outdoor stewards,” says Haag.
The next round of scholarships will be available for spring term 2024. Questions? Contact Dan Haag at dan@tillamookcoast.com.
