Education Blue Mountain Eagle Stewart Scholarship deadline approaching Blue Mountain Eagle Grant County students of higher education can receive a helping hand with expens- es through the Wayne Stew- art Scholarship. Applications must be postmarked by Friday, July 1, for the deadline. Scholarship trust officers said they expect to distribute $560,000 in funds this year. Last year, $581,000 was distributed to 117 students, thanks to the late benefac- tors Wayne Stewart of Day- ville and his son Eminger Stewart III, who made pro- visions in their wills for a perpetual scholarship. The scholarships are awarded for undergraduate, trade or graduate school ed- ucational expenses. For more information, visit the Grant County Edu- cation Service District web- site at grantesd.k12.or.us. Scholarship information is at the lower right of the page.

Emmalee Hettinga EOU named to ‘best of’ online lists Blue Mountain Eagle Three independent ranking sources for stu- dents looking to complete their college degree on- line have named East- ern Oregon University to their “best of” lists for 2016. EOU appears second on the list of 50 best on- line bachelor’s in educa- tion published by College Choice; fourth on the roster of 50 best online liberal arts colleges for bachelor’s degrees re- leased by The Best Schools; and is in the top seven schools, along with Penn State and Purdue, reviewed by College Val- ues Online for afford- able online economics degrees. “These rankings spot- light what we believe are the strengths of our on- line programs — high ac- ademic quality, flexibility and curriculum keyed to our students’ career plans and success,” said Donald Wolff, EOU’s interim vice provost for Academic Af- fairs. Each site’s ranking sys- tem is weighted slightly different, with College Choice looking at project- ed earnings for graduates and The Best Schools bas- ing their selection on qual- ity and types of programs offered, faculty strengths, school awards, rankings and reputation. Similar- ly, College Values Online factors in academic excel- lence, course offerings, faculty strengths and rep- utation.
