Two $3,000 scholarships are awarded at the Senior Awards assembly at McMinnville High School one $3,000 scholarship is awarded at Amity, Dayton, Yamhill-Carlton and Newberg High School awards assemblies.

The “See Ya Later” Foundation has awarded 16 Scholarships since our first year in 2007. We have given away $20,000 already, and are just getting started. There are plenty of good kids that need a little extra help, and The “See Ya Later” Foundation is doing what it can, but we still need help. Go here to learn how you can help.
