Oregon Community Foundation
Statewide Scholarship Program

John and Betty Gray Scholarship Program is on Temporary Pause

Due to the great success and popularity of the John and Betty Gray Scholarship program, the Oregon Center for Career Development in Childhood Care and Education has awarded the maximum amount of funding available at this time. More individuals are participating in training, education and/or professional development activities then ever before. For this reason OCCD is unable to process any new scholarship applications or requests until additional funding is available.

We are very grateful for the generosity of the John and Betty Gray Scholarship of the Oregon Community Foundation for their continued support of Oregon’s children, families and child care professionals. OCCD will continue to seek funding to support the professional development of providers working directly with children and families.

We look forward to continuing to work with you, please check back after February 15, 2008. We will post any updates on our website.
