Coburg Community Foundation Scholarship Recipients
“I grew up in Coburg where my dad built our first house and I attended Coburg Elementary starting in 2nd grade. After high school I moved to Portland to work full time at OHSU in Oncology while attending classes at PCC for pre-nursing. I have recently been accepted into the Accelerated BSN nursing program at Concordia University St. Paul. I hope to work in ER or ICU as an RN and may continue as a nurse anesthetist eventually. I love spending time with family and friends, exercising, and traveling. I’m looking forward to my future and giving back to my community!”

“Having grown up in Coburg, I am very familiar with the connectivity within the community -- we rally around and support one another in times of need, and I feel very grateful to be from a community where everyone is familiar and invested in communal success. Through my studies of sociology and the American legal system, I plan to obtain my J.D. and work locally to ameliorate affects of incarceration. I plan to continue my work with the University of Oregon's Prison Education Program to work hands-on with those in our community negatively impacted by this country's culture of incarceration -- largely revolving around access to education.”

“After moving to Coburg in 2014 to accompany our grandmother, the question of what I want to do with my career has been stirring in my mind, and I figure a good starting point would be at Lane Community College to study physics and eventually transfer to Oregon State.”
— James Alexander Wood
“I have always been driven to succeed even despite many obstacles of my own, and I have always taken the extra steps and put in the extra work to achieve my goals, and I want to be the first in my immediate family to obtain my bachelor’s degree.”
