Scholarship Foundation

In October of 2024, The Oregon Telecommunications Association Scholarship Foundation voted to change its name to reflect the recent name change of the Oregon Telecommunications Association to the Oregon Broadband Association. The Scholarship Foundation followed suit and is now known as the Oregon Broadband Association Scholarship Association.

The Foundation was established to offer scholarships to employees and immediate families of OBA members to further education in colleges, universities and trade schools. In addition, the Foundation is proud to offer the Diana Coleman Memorial Scholarship to honor a long-time board member, supporter and friend of the Foundation.  To honor Diana’s memory, the OBA Scholarship Foundation created this award to be given in addition to the annual awards which are largely based on academics.  Diana’s greatest passion was for students who encountered adversity, that persevered and triumphed over their difficulties.  The Diana Coleman Memorial Scholarship is awarded to a student who most closely fits the criteria Diana championed.  This additional scholarship will be awarded from the overall applications submitted.
