Gerald E. Robinson Memorial SCHOLARSHIP

The Gerald E. Robinson Memorial Scholarship was established in 2018 to honor Gerald "Jerry" Robinson's love of animals. Jerry Robinson was a resident of Okanogan County and was well known for loving his dogs and caring for them better than himself. It is only just, and Jerry's wish, that the Gerald E. Robinson Scholarship be used to assist others who wish to love animals as he did. This scholarship supports college students who are enrolled in a qualified veterinary or pre-veterinary program.

GRANT RECIPIENT

Due to being rural, remote, and geographically isolated, we must be prepared to do more than respond to emergencies. We have become a healthcare partner who fills gaps in service. The grant allowed our board the time and ability to work with a Strategic Planner to modify our plan to address those gaps.

Scholarship Recipient

My father was a migrant agricultural worker who eventually started his own cherry and apple orchard. He told me if I wanted to live a better life, I had to get an education. I plan on starting a career with the Chelan PUD with a passion for renewable energy and in turn give back to my parents and community for supporting my dreams.
