About the Scholarship
One Oregon student drops out of high school roughly every hour. That's more than 7,000 every year.
Stand for Children’s goal is to move Oregon’s schools into the nation’s top 10 by 2016 in test scores, the achievement gap, high school graduation rates, and college preparedness. If our high school graduation rate were on par with the top states, 3,300 more young people would graduate from Oregon high schools every year.
The Beat the Odds Scholarship Awards Program is designed to highlight the incredible potential of Oregon’s young people as well as the challenges which prevent too many of them from succeeding. Each fall, Stand for Children Leadership Center awards three $10,000 scholarships to college-bound Oregon public high school seniors who have "Beat the Odds" by succeeding in school despite daunting obstacles.
