Alan Wyland Memorial Scholarship Fund

Established 1998

The Alan Wyland Memorial Scholarship, established in 1998, honors the legacy of Alan Wyland, a dedicated youth pastor and talented vocalist. Each year, a scholarship is awarded to a graduating senior from Pendleton High School (PHS) who plans to pursue college studies with a focus on music. The recipient is selected by the PHS faculty scholarship committee, with final approval from Dr. Rhonda Wyland.

The $1,000 scholarship supports a Pendleton High School graduate, prioritizing those pursuing studies in music. Applicants can apply through the PHS Scholarship application available through ASPIRE.
