The Oregon Heritage Preservation Scholarship provides financial assistance for Oregon residents to attend a preservation-related conference, workshop, or training. Eligible travel expenses include registration fees, transportation (e.g. air fare, personal vehicle mileage, etc.), lodging, and meals.
Scholarships are competitive and offered twice per year. Scholarships will be offered to those actively involved in local preservation efforts and who demonstrate in their application how attendance at a preservation-related conference, workshop, or training will help meet the preservation needs of their local community. Scholarship recipients will be expected to share what they learn from the conference, workshop, or training with others through a post on the Oregon Heritage Exchange blog, a public presentation, or some other way approved by Oregon Heritage.
The scholarship is offered by Oregon Heritage, part of the Oregon Parks and Recreation Department, in honor of Elisabeth Walton Potter. Potter was a long-time historian with the State Historic Preservation Office and coordinator for the National Register of Historic Places program in Oregon.
