Sarah Cameron
I feel successful and capable of changing my life with my degree in Business Management and Entrepreneurship. Knowing that someone out there is aware of me and my journey to obtain my degree is comforting, and it instills confidence in me to keep doing what is necessary, as I am still in the beginning of my two-year degree program. It feels wonderful to have your support as I further my education. – Sarah Cameron, Pringle Scholarship Recipient
April Talbot
I arrived in Brookings six years ago and have been very involved within the community in several different volunteer roles. Since moving here and more than 20 years after graduating high school, I decided it was time to begin college. Upon completion of an Associates of Science Degree at SWOCC, I will transfer to Eastern Oregon University’s online Accounting Program. I will use my degrees to further my career and to enhance my volunteer contributions in our community. I hope to serve on local boards once I have completed school. – April Talbot, Nature’s Coastal Holiday Scholarship Recipient
Caren Vastine
I have worked in the healthcare profession for over 25 years in a variety of roles, from medical billing to hands on patient care as a CNA. No matter what my role has been, providing compassionate care to patients and their families has been my focus. I look forward to continuing this in my next role as a registered nurse. – Caren Vastine, Curry Campus General Scholarship Recipient
