CCC’s Lyon is selected to be a
Ford Family Foundation Scholar
The Daily Astorian
Clatsop Community Col-
lege graduate Alex Lyon has
been named a Ford Family
Foundation Scholar.
The foundation selected
Lyon from among 5,883 appli-
cants. The scholarship pro-
gram is open to high school
seniors and community col-
lege students, based on merit
and financial need, transfer-
ring to a four-year institution.
This year, 105 students from
Oregon and 10 from Siskiyou
County, California, were cho-
sen. The renewable scholar-
ship covers 90 percent of each
student’s unmet financial need
for each academic year.
Lyon is part of the college’s
TRIO Student Support Ser-
vices program, which helps
first-generation, low-income
and disabled students. She
plans to pursue a bachelor’s
degree in education at Western
Oregon University.
“Receiving this scholarship
showed me that we are not
limited to the confines of our
past,” Lyon said in a release.
“The Ford Family Foundation
taught me to never give up on
my dreams, even if the barriers
seem impenetrable.”
Lyon’s adviser in the TRIO
program, Amy Magnussen,
helped her apply for scholar-
ships and submit applications
to the colleges of her choice.
“Alex is one of the hard-
est working students I have
encountered and extraordi-
narily resourceful,” Mag-
nussen said. “She is passion-
ate about becoming a teacher
and recognizes the powerfully
transformative role education
has played in her own life.”
Information about the col-
lege’s TRIO Student Sup-
port Services Program can be
found at clatsopcc.edu or by
