Luke Donaldson of Coquille, Oregon is the recipient of the 2018 OATAG Young Scholar Award. 
Luke, who came highly recommended by his teachers, is in the eighth grade at Coquille Junior High School. He was selected for this honor based on his academic and intellectual ability in addition to leadership and community service. Luke is a leader within his school exemplifying initiative, conscientiousness, and perseverance. Luke participates and excels in extracurricular activities including Knowledge Bowl and National Geographic Bee. He volunteers at South Slough National Estuarine Research Reserve where as a two-year old he first developed his interest in estuaries, the ocean, and the beach environment. Luke says, “Ultimately it is my dream to find a solution to the trash that fills the ocean and litters our beaches.”  

Kylie Ostrin, a 5th grader from Albany who attends North Albany Elementary was selected as a runner-up based on her strong academics and citizenship. 

The $500 Scholarship that goes to the winner is funded by private donations.  You can assist with this scholarship by making a directed donation to OATAG.
