The Mary Elizabeth Guest Scholarship is for graduates of Oregon high schools and is not open to graduating high school seniors. Applicants must take Special Education with a preference for teaching students with severe behavioral disorders. Financial need may or may not be considered. February 15 is the Early Bird Deadline. Error-free applications will be entered into a drawing for one of several $1,000 Early Bird scholarships. If a deadline falls on a weekend or holiday, that deadline will automatically be extended to 5:00 p.m. (PST) on the following business day.
