Jacob Saunders & John-Mark Nelson Endowed Scholarship
Since they were young boys, John-Mark Nelson and Jacob Saunders were endowed with a deep sense of appreciation for the sacrifices individuals have made for the good of others. It was this deep sense of respect toward selfless service and other-centeredness that led them to pursue a career in the Armed Forces. In their senior year at Oregon State University in the Army ROTC program, John-Mark and Jacob established this endowed scholarship, with the help of Lieutenant Colonel Mike Rainbolt, to carry on the tradition of service and promoting esprit-de-corps.
The Saunders & Nelson Scholarship is awarded annually to the junior Army ROTC cadet who most exemplifies honest, unselfish qualities to his/her classmates throughout the most demanding year of the program.
York County Community Foundation
York County Community Foundation was founded in 1961 by generous visionaries who saw an opportunity to perpetually support their community by pooling charitable giving, investing it to grow over time and make grants to charity from the earnings on the pooled fund. It wasn’t until 1991 that the Community Foundation made a real push to build its assets so that it could become the kind of leading organization it is today. Donors are the crux of our existence; they are the reason we have been so successful over the years. Today, thanks to encouragement from many community leaders, we have enhanced our mission to include being a community leader and changemaker by working with community stakeholders to leverage our grantmaking and expertise for powerful community improvement.
Field of Study Scholarships
Through the Community Foundation, our donors have established scholarship funds focused on a specific field of study. Each scholarship expresses our donors' deep commitment to helping York County students achieve their educational goals.

John E. Taylor Family Endowed ROTC Scholarship
In 2008, Lieutenant Colonel (LTC) John E. Taylor and his wife LTC Mary Beth Taylor established the John E. Taylor Family Endowed ROTC Scholarship with Benton Community Foundation. He and Mary Beth are committed to helping ROTC cadets finance their education through this annual scholarship award.
Honor Veterans & Patriots
The Honor Veterans and Patriots ROTC Scholarship Fund was originally established in 2016 by Michael Rainbolt, LTC, USA, Ret., to honor former servicemembers, their families, and the many more who have supported, in varying capacities, the United States Armed Forces. Each year, the scholarship fund supports one cadet each in the Army, Air Force, Navy, and Marine ROTC programs at Oregon State University.
Benton County Rotary Youth Scholarship Endowment
Founded in 1923, the Rotary Club of Corvallis is the oldest Rotary Club in Benton County. The Club is committed to student and youth development, eradicating polio, and performing social service both locally and globally.
In 1985, the Club formed a separate nonprofit entitled, the Rotary Club of Corvallis Scholar Loan Foundation (“RCCSLF”). The RCCSLF was organized to make small, short-term loans to students who were at risk of dropping out of school due to financial emergencies. The loans were available to those students in need who graduated from an Oregon High School, and who were attending an Oregon university, community college, or trade school. The program was called, “Operation Rescue.”
The RCCSLF served an important need for students during the 1990s, and as many as 12 outstanding loans would be in process at any given time. Over time, competing financial sources became more available to students and the administration of the program became difficult. In 2009, the RCCSLF transferred its remaining assets to Benton Community Foundation to create the Benton County Rotary Youth Scholarship Fund.
Many of the local Rotary Clubs contribute to the Benton County Rotary Youth Scholarship Fund, and each contributing club appoints representatives to sit on the scholarship selection committee to determine recipients of annual awards.
Annual distributions from the Fund are used to grant or augment scholarship awards made to college-bound Benton County High School students selected by the Rotary Club Scholarship Committee.
Western Oregon University, SGM Charles H. Beauchamp Memorial Scholarship Fund
In 2001, ROTC graduates from Western Oregon University (WOU) established an alumni scholarship specifically for cadets at the Monmouth campus. They were mostly from the classes of 1990 and 1991, along with the then-assistant professor of military science, Captain David Larson.
While the cadets at WOU are eligible for all of the scholarships, these alumni wanted to do something special for the cadets at their alma mater. As part of their mission, the Army ROTC detachment at Oregon State University also provides instruction and training for students at Chemeketa Community College, Western Baptist College, Linn-Benton Community College and Western Oregon University.
Dr. Larry Roper Student Leadership Scholarship Fund
We are honored to establish a scholarship in the name of Dr. Larry Roper, a trusted and valued mentor whose legacy and current efforts are deeply rooted in his unwavering commitment to student support, staff development, and the transformational mission of higher education. Dr. Roper’s values have consistently emphasized seeing the potential in others and nurturing their growth, creating an environment of community and learning.
To celebrate his profound legacy within Oregon State University and the Division of Student Affairs, a scholarship has been established in his name. The Dr. Larry Roper Student Leadership Scholarship will support a student leader who identifies as Black, African, or African American—continuing the work Larry championed for decades. As Dr. Roper requested, this scholarship is less about him and more about how we might come together in service to others. In that spirit, this scholarship aims to share his passion with future generations, honoring his dedication to addressing needs in areas he is passionate about. Through this initiative, we celebrate Dr. Roper’s profound impact and ensure his legacy continues to inspire and support students for years to come.
We invite you to join us in this endeavor, contributing to a cause that embodies Dr. Roper’s vision of community, growth, and service. Your donation will help us extend his legacy, making a meaningful difference in the lives of students and the broader educational community.

New Innovator in Food & Agriculture Research Award
The New Innovator in Food & Agriculture Research Award provides early-career scientists the investment needed to propel them into successful research careers.
The Foundation for Food & Agriculture Research (FFAR) seeks nominations for its 2026 New Innovator in Food and Agriculture Research Award. Through this program, FFAR intends to provide early-career scientists with the investment needed to propel them into successful research careers. The New Innovator Award program supports and promotes exceptionally talented new faculty who are conducting critical and highly innovative research addressing significant food and agriculture challenges. These awards allow grantees to focus exclusively on research without the pressure of securing additional funding.
The New Innovator Award is a flagship program of FFAR’s Scientific Workforce Priority Area and seeks to promote career advancement of promising new scientists who intend to make a long-term career commitment to research in food and agriculture and bring innovative, ground-breaking research initiatives and thinking to bear on problems facing food and agriculture. Within the scope of the New Innovator Award program, investigators have the freedom to explore new avenues of inquiry that arise during their research. Therefore, FFAR is interested in the program of research to be explored and its impact as opposed to a list of very specific aims.
It is expected that, through this program, investigators will have the ability to pursue highly creative ideas, firmly establish their early lines of research into important food and agriculture scientific areas and provide funding stability in the critical early career years.
Each applicant can receive from FFAR up to $150,000 per year for a maximum of three years totaling a $450,000 investment.
To further support the grantees, and allow them to fully focus on their research, matching funds are not required for this program.

Range Development Grants
These competitive range development cash grants will provide funds to allow existing ranges to make improvements and expansions.
A fundamental need of a shooting team is a place to shoot. These competitive funds will provide the opportunity for existing ranges to make improvements and expansions to allow for more youth-oriented shooting activities. Team and Agency endowment holders are encouraged to work with their respective shooting range(s) to identify needs and complete grant application requirements. Currently, MidwayUSA Foundation Donor Designated endowment holders are not eligible to apply.
We accept Range Development grant applications via our online grant application process once per year. The applications are reviewed and awarded by the MidwayUSA Foundation. These competitive cash grants are awarded to grant recipients in June. Awarded projects are subject to a visit by Foundation staff and may be audited to ensure use as directed in the application.
While the Range Development grants are meant for MidwayUSA Foundation Team and Agency endowment holders, certain non-endowment holding organizations, primarily conservation groups and universities, may apply if they are directly benefiting local youth shooting teams and their associated range development grant will enable more youth to become involved in the youth shooting sports.
Many conservation groups and state wildlife agencies build and operate public target shooting facilities using federal excise tax monies as a key source of funds for these projects. In some occurrences, it is possible these non-endowment holders may prove eligible for a Range Development grant. In most cases these groups will pursue R3 (Recruitment, Retention, Reactivation) conservation grants funded by the Pittman-Robertson/Wildlife Restoration Act to acquire 90% of their range expansion funding, while seeking the remaining 10% through other sources. It is possible that the Range Development grant can provide the remaining 10% if certain requirements are met.
Colleges and universities that do not operate their own shooting range may utilize public target shooting facilities for their team’s practice. In some occurrences, it is possible these non-endowment holders may prove eligible for a Range Development grant. In these instances, the non-grant portion of the range development budget can be met with funds acquired by the college/university, shooting range, or a combination of the two. If your conservation, wildlife agency, college, or university is interested in a Range Development Grant, contact us.

Coach Training Grants
These competitive cash grants will fund the certification of youth shooting sports coach candidates.
Qualified coaches are an integral piece to the expansion of youth shooting sports. To continue providing more opportunities for our youth in shooting sports, we will offer competitive grants to fund the certification of more coaches. MidwayUSA Foundation Agency and Donor-Designated Endowment holders will be eligible for Coach Training grants. Teams or individuals interested in our Coach Training grant program should reach out to a state or national organization.

Prospective coach candidates must be affiliated with an endowment holding team or organization.
