Oregon State Friends of NRA Announces Scholarship Recipients

The Oregon Friends of NRA are proud to announce the recipients of its 2015 Scholarship Program. Twenty $1,000 scholarships were awarded to deserving students throughout the state for their outstanding roles in their communities and support for the Second Amendment. Scholarships will be applied to furthering the students’ education in college or technical/vocational school.
