<p class="MsoNormal">The application deadline for financial assistance to attend a preservation-related conference, workshop or training is Dec. 18. These Oregon Heritage Preservation Scholarships enable Oregon residents to attend a conference, workshop or
training in the United States before June 30. Eligible travel expenses include registration fees, transportation (e.g.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">air fare, personal vehicle mileage, etc.), lodging, and meals. Awards usually range from $500-$1,500, depending on applicant eligibility, priorities, criteria and the number of applicants.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Scholarships are competitive. Scholarships will be offered to those actively involved in local preservation efforts and who demonstrate how attendance at a preservation-related conference, workshop, or training will help meet the preservation
needs of their local community. Scholarship recipients will be expected to share what they learn from the conference, workshop, or training with others through a post on the Oregon Heritage Exchange blog, a public presentation, or some other way approved
by Oregon Heritage.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The scholarship is offered by Oregon Heritage, part of the Oregon Parks and Recreation Department, in honor of Elisabeth Walton Potter. Potter was a long-time historian with the State Historic Preservation Office and coordinator for the
National Register of Historic Places program in Oregon.<o:p></o:p></p>
