I was very happy and appreciative to learn that I was a recipient. I am honored to use these funds to help me achieve my career goals over the next four years at the University of Oregon. Go Ducks!<br />&nbsp;<br />As requested, here is my picture and a brief bio for your website. Let me know if you have any trouble accessing it:<br />&nbsp;<br />"Cait Smith is delighted to be a 2020 Portland Business Forum Scholarship Recipient! A recent graduate from Tigard High School, she plans to attend the University of Oregon in the fall to study Psychology and Theatre Arts with a minor in Business Administration. During her time at Tigard High, Cait was heavily involved in Theatre--taking on leading roles, serving as President of her Thespian Troupe, being a State and International Thespian Officer Finalist, and advocating for Educational Arts programs in Washington D.C. Between classes, she worked as a reporter for the local newspapers and volunteered as a Disney Princess performer for foster children. In ten years, she plans to start a theatre company in an Oregon&nbsp;city that&nbsp;lacks educational&nbsp;arts programs. Cait would like to thank the Portland Business Forum for their generous scholarship fund and for helping her achieve her educational goals."<br />&nbsp;<br />Warm&nbsp;Regards,<br /><br />Caitlin Smith<br /></div>  <div><div class="wsite-image wsite-image-border-none " style="padding-top:10px;padding-bottom:10px;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;text-align:center"> <a> <img src="http://www.portlandbusiness.org/uploads/2/0/1/0/20105461/screen-shot-2020-03-03-at-6-02-46-pm_orig.png" alt="Picture" style="width:auto;max-width:100%" /> </a> <div style="display:block;font-size:90%"></div> </div></div>]]></content:encoded></item><item><title><![CDATA[Portland Business Forum Awards Scholarships]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.portlandbusiness.org/news-and-discussion/portland-business-forum-awards-scholarships]]></link><comments><![CDATA[http://www.portlandbusiness.org/news-and-discussion/portland-business-forum-awards-scholarships#comments]]></comments><pubDate>Wed, 12 Jun 2013 15:35:10 GMT</pubDate><category><![CDATA[Uncategorized]]></category><guid isPermaLink="false">http://www.portlandbusiness.org/news-and-discussion/portland-business-forum-awards-scholarships</guid><description><![CDATA[ Portland Business Forum awarded four scholarships in 2013.
