On Thursday, Governor Kate Brown announced the five $100,000 scholarship winners of the Take Your Shot, Oregon campaign.

A release said Oregonians ages 12 to 17 who had received at least one dose of COVID-19 vaccine were eligible for the drawing. The winners are:

*Joshua Greco, age 14, of Damascus, entering 9th grade

*Maya Kolaric, age 14, of Portland, entering 9th grade

*Nola Miller, age 15, of Portland, entering 10th grade

*Laney Myers, age 15, of Grants Pass, entering 10th grade

*Mia W, age 12, of Tigard, entering 7th grade

Brown said, “I’m incredibly grateful for our scholarship winners and all the young Oregonians who took their shot to get vaccinated and protect themselves and their families from COVID-19”.

The scholarship prizes were the result of a partnership between the Governor’s Office, the Oregon State Treasury, the Oregon College Savings Plan, the Oregon Health Authority and the Oregon Lottery.

The release said the Oregon State Treasury will oversee the college savings prizes. Prize dollars will be placed in Oregon College Savings Plan accounts with the parent or legal guardian serving as the account owner, and the youth receiving the prize designated as the beneficiary.
