2017 Young Scholar is Emma Price

OATAG is pleased to announce that Emma Price of Newport, Oregon has been selected as the 2017 Young Scholar of the Year by the Oregon Association for Talented and Gifted (OATAG).  This selection was based on Emma’s significant strengths of service, dedication, compassion and leadership.  Emma should be very proud of this distinction, which seeks to recognize Oregon’s under-served TAG population each year by seeking out students who use their special talents and gifts to help others, improve their school and community, and enhance the world around them.

According to her application, Emma has selected to use the YSA scholarship funds for the College for Kids program.  Our treasurer, Richard Price (rprice@oatag.org) will be reaching out to her shortly to arrange for OATAG to submit the up to $500 award funds to that program.  

Additionally, I will be reaching out to Emma’s school to arrange the presentation of the award in a manner appropriate for the school climate and venue.  
Please find attached the press release that accompanies this announcement.  Feel free to contact me if you have any questions or would like additional information.
