Because of my long-standing interest in counseling at-risk youth, a student scholarship fund was established at the Portland State University Foundation, in my name, at the time I retired from Portland State University. Though the scholarship carries my name, funds are designated entirely for the benefit of the student who receives the scholarship. The purpose of the scholarship is to facilitate the preparation of counselors by providing scholarships to graduating Masters Degree students planning to enter doctoral programs to become counselor educators at universities. The only way to prepare additional counselors to work in schools and agencies is to encourage counselors, who are exceptional scholars and interpersonal communicators, to obtain the doctoral degree so they can educate and supervise additional counselors. Such support is a necessity given the escalating costs of university tuition and books and I am particularly interested in funding those who want to prepare counselors to work with at-risk youth.
