Several scholarship opportunities are available for people interested in attending the Extravaganza:
Northwest Oral History Association
Do you want to attend the annual Northwest Oral History Association meeting, but find your organization's travel funds have been cut? Or is there a special workshop that doesn't fit into your budget? NOHA would like to help. The organization is offering a limited amount of scholarship assistance to members who would like to attend the Northwest History and Heritage Extravaganza.
Email or send a letter of application to the Board of Directors of the Northwest Oral History Association. Your letter should include contact information, your institutional affiliation or particular interest in oral history, and a brief paragraph explaining your financial needs and what benefits you or your community would receive from your attendance at the conference.
Requests cannot exceed $150 and must be received by April 3. They should be sent to saboswell@msn.com or to the following address: Sharon Boswell, 950 NW Elford Drive, Seattle, WA 98177. NOHA board members will evaluate the applications and notify applicants of their decisions promptly.
Oregon Heritage Trust
The Oregon Heritage Trust is providing a limited number of scholarships for people from Oregon-based organizations with budgets under $50,000. To apply, an organizational president must send a letter by April 1 to the Oregon Heritage Trust, PO Box 3041, Portland, OR 97208-3041 stating the name of the organization's representative (the scholarship recipient) who will attend the Extravaganza and that the organization wishes to apply for a scholarship to support that participation.
Full-time students in Oregon in a heritage-related academic program also may apply directly by submitting a brief letter of interest and proof of their enrollment status.
Scholarship recipients will need to send by May 31 a letter describing the benefits they received at the Extravaganza before the scholarship is paid. Scholarship funds are paid directly to the student or the sponsoring organization.
