Alfred Lane IV Receives Scholarship More than $200,000 in scholarship awards for the 2002-2003 academic year have been announced by the Oregon State University Foundation Scholarship Awards Committee. Alfred Lane IV, a sophomore in university exploratory studies, is one of 60 scholarship recipients. He received a $5,000 Helen J. and Harold Gilman Smith Native American Scholarship. The total awarded last year was less than $150,000. Pam Powell, OSU Foundation scholarship administrator, says awards to students of Native American descent increased in part because of the greater number of qualified applicants. “Last year, few Native American students applied for those scholarships. I’m glad the word is getting out that funding is available and that students must apply through the OSU Foundation for these scholarships.’’ Congratulations!
