TCCA awarding 10 scholarships

The Tillamook County Creamery Association will be awarding ten scholarships worth $2,500 each to students in Tillamook and Morrow Counties as part of its Excellence in Leadership Scholarship Program.

With the scholarship, the Tillamook County Creamery Association (TCCA) aims to recognize outstanding students from all backgrounds who demonstrate leadership through service to their school and community, participation in extracurricular activities and scholastic achievement.

Applicants are required to live in Tillamook or Morrow Counties or to be the dependent of a TCCA farmer-owner or employee.

Current high school seniors, undergraduates and graduate students may apply for the scholarship, with a 3.0 grade point average required for all groups. Seniors must have been accepted to a two- or four-year college, university or technical school program as a full-time, degree-seeking student, while undergraduates must be enrolled in one of those programs. Graduate students need to have completed an undergraduate degree and to be enrolled full-time in graduate studies.

One scholarship is reserved for the child of a current TCCA farmer-owner and one for the child of a current employee, while the remaining eight will be awarded to qualifying students with permanent residency in the counties.

Applications to the scholarship open are due by April 15. More information as well as the application can be found at excellenceinleadership.paperform.co.
