Class of 1975 Awards

2022 Science Scholarship to

Outstanding Senior - Howland McNelia

Winner of this year’s

$1,000 college scholarship

We all have dreams and aspirations that we hope to achieve in our lives, but not everyone has the opportunity to do so. That's why it's important to recognize and support those who have a clear vision and the drive to make their dreams a reality. The Class of 1975 has assisted in this quest by awarding our 2022 Science Scholarship to deserving senior, Howland McNelia, who plans to major in biology with a focus in Pre-Medicine at Oregon State University.

Howland's achievements were truly impressive, both academically and extracurricularly. With a grade point average of 4.659, she finished 12th out of 524 seniors. She also actively participated in sports, including Tennis, Soccer (as Team Captain), and Swim (as JV Team Captain). Furthermore, her community activities included the Green Club (of which she became President from 2019-2022), Crochet Club (which met weekly with a yearly goal to donate crocheted blankets to a women's shelter), and G-Crew (of which she was a member and organizer from 2019-2022).

What's even more remarkable about Howland is her determination to overcome the hardships and obstacles she faced in recent years. Her scholarship application highlighted her belief that hard work and desire can motivate her, to push ahead and accomplish anything she sets her mind to. Howlands dedication and passion for contributing to the healthcare field as an OB/GYN, with a focus on providing care for underserved communities, is admirable.

Congratulations to Howland McNelia on winning the 2022 scholarship in Science. We wish her all the best in her academic pursuits and her future career. May she continue to inspire others with her drive, determination, and passion for making a difference in the world!
