Let’er Duck Scholarship

Established 2010

The Let’er Duck Chapter of the University of Oregon Alumni Association established this scholarship fund in 2010 to support high school graduates attending the University of Oregon. The Alumni Association’s scholarship committee selects the recipient, with the first award given in 2011.

The Let’er Duck Chapter created this scholarship program as part of its commitment to help Eastern Oregon students succeed at the University of Oregon. What began with small donations at the Let’er Duck breakfast during the Pendleton Round-Up has grown every year, continuing the chapter’s commitment to supporting local students.

The $1,000 scholarship is awarded annually. The application is linked here, due May 1st.
