Elmer and Iva Gilmore Education Fund

The Elmer and Iva Gilmore Education Fund is a renewable scholarship opportunity available to graduating seniors from Grants Pass School District and Three Rivers School District in Oregon. The scholarship provides variable award amounts to support students pursuing higher education at two- or four-year colleges or universities. Selection preference is given to students who lack financial resources or who wish to major in engineering or the physical sciences. The scholarship funds are distributed directly to the recipient's educational institution and must be used for tuition, on-campus room and board, textbooks, and supplies. This scholarship reflects the commitment to supporting local students in accessing higher education opportunities, particularly those with demonstrated financial need or interests in STEM fields. The fund is administered by the Redwood Foundation for Education (formerly JCEF) and is part of their broader commitment to supporting educational opportunities for students in Southern Oregon.
