Oregon ACTE Newsletter

Ava Bush is our first Oregon ACTE scholarship winner! Ava attends Silverton HS and the Willamette Career Academy in Salem, where she is in the cosmetology program. She plans to continue to pursue that career path, and this scholarship will be used to help her pursue that future. One other winner will be finding out at graduation next week, so we are keeping it under wraps for now :)

500 scholarships at up to $2,500 each

The Career & Technical Scholarship Program is funded through the generosity of Horatio Alger Association Members, Jim F. Dicke II and Dennis Washington. Scholarships are awarded to students who have faced and overcome great obstacles in their lives who wish to pursue a career or technical education at an accredited non-profit postsecondary institution in the United States. Deadline is June 15. Details here: https://www.acteonline.org/horatio-alger-scholarship/

ACTE is committed to Inclusion, Access, Equity and Diversity (IAED) in all that it does. As such, we recognize that we have work to do and that IAED is a continuous process to ensure every member has access to the many benefits of membership, that all members feel included in programming designed for them, and that our membership reflects the diversity of our CTE educators across the country. In order to approach this important work authentically and with fidelity, we need to hear from you. Please take the next 10 minutes to complete this optional survey, so that we can know you better and provide the professional development and resources our CTE communities need.

Remember, the goal is for this work to be designed for and guided by our members. All questions are optional, and none of your personally identifying information will be shared; only summative data will be used to help design more meaningful IAED programming. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to reach out to IAED Coordinator, Amanda Bastoni.
