The Darlene Hooley for Oregon Veterans Scholarship aims to support eligible students who are attending an Oregon educational institution of higher learning and have served or are serving in support of the Global War on Terrorism (GWOT). Eligible applicants must be currently serving or previously served in the Oregon National Guard or in a Military Reserve Component after 9/11 and deployed overseas supporting the GWOT. Preference will be given to those in active duty at Oregon Reserves or Oregon National Guard who were deployed to an overseas conflict post-9/11. The application and other requirements may be sent via online, fax, or mail. February 15 is the Early Bird Deadline. Error-free applications will be entered into a drawing for one of several $1,000 Early Bird scholarships. If a deadline falls on a weekend or holiday, that deadline will automatically be extended to 5:00 p.m. (PST) on the following business day.
