ENTERPRISE — Applications to the Bruce Dunn Scholarship Fund are now being accepted from Wallowa County high school graduates enrolled in a school of agriculture, school of forestry or other natural resource-related area of study.

While preference is given to applicants with at least college sophomore standing, graduating high school seniors are eligible for consideration. Preference also is given to applicants seriously contemplating a return to Eastern Oregon to work and live.

The deadline for applications, available at www.wallowaresources.org/university-education, is May 1. The fund’s advisory committee will review the scholarship applications and hold interviews in mid-May. Awards will be announced ahead of the county’s high school graduation dates.

The Bruce Dunn Scholarship Fund memorializes Bruce Dunn, a forester who served both his industry and the Wallowa County community for more than 30 years as well as helping prepare the next generation of natural resource professionals.

Wallowa Resources, with its focus on natural resources and outdoor education, is the fund’s fiscal sponsor. Donations can be made to Wallowa Resources with “Bruce Dunn Scholarship Fund” in the memo line, and mailed to 401 NE First Street, Suite A, Enterprise, OR 97828.
