Michael switched from being a logger of many years to attending college, where he carried more than a full-time student load of credits. Even with carrying such a heavy load of course work, Michael maintained excellent grades. This fall, he landed the job that he had set his goal on, working at a wastewater treatment plant in Silverton, Ore. He finally has good benefits, a decent wage, and year-round work. Way to go, Mike! You are an example to the rest of us. We love you! Scholarships Available for Students in Public Health Students seeking careers in public health are invited to apply for the Laurence R. Foster Memorial Scholarship. Application deadline is March 1, 2002. Scholarship applicants should be Oregon residents seeking a career in public health, not private practice. Preference will be given to qualified people working in, or graduate students majoring in, public health. Undergraduates entering junior- or senior-year health programs (such as nursing, medical technology, or physician assistant) also are eligible. The scholarship was established in 1992 to honor the late Dr. Larry Foster, a long-time public health leader in Oregon. He served as deputy and then state epidemiologist with the Oregon Health Division from 1977 until his death in 1992. Prior to Foster’s death, the “Friends of Larry Foster” decided to establish a scholarship fund in his name. He was enthusiastic about the idea and helped develop the scholarship guidelines. At his request, preference for the scholarship award will be given to qualified minorities. If no qualified minorities apply in a given year, then the most needy qualified applicants will be chosen. Friends of Public Health partners with the Oregon Community Foundation and the Oregon Student Assistance Commission on this program. Eight scholarships, ranging from $5,000 to $10,000, have been awarded since July 2000. For more information, contact the Oregon Student Assistance Commission, 1500 Valley River Drive, Suite 100, Eugene, OR 97401; 541-687-7400; http://www.osac.state.or.us.
