“I would like to practice in the field of environmental
law some day,” says Kathrine Eum ’05, an environmental
studies major from Wahiawa, Hawaii, who is making waves as an
outstanding student and motivated University and community participant.
“I love being at a smaller school,” says Eum, who
enjoys the close interaction she has with her professors. “I
am amazed by the level of accessibility I have to my professors.”
Eum is the recipient of the G. Herbert Smith Scholarship, which
is awarded to students who demonstrate high academic
achievement and a commitment to public service. The scholarship
has provided critical support to Eum as she brings creative new
dimensions to Willamette. “I
am honored to be a recipient of the G. Herbert Smith Scholarship;
it really helped make Willamette possible for me.”
Endowed scholarships help fulfill the dreams of many students
like Eum, who energize our campus through their leadership, artistry,
intellect and character, but who cannot afford a private college
education on their own. Our academically and socially diverse
community is the source of Willamette’s strength and distinctiveness;
however, it has placed an increasing burden on the University’s
fiscal resources.
The list of named Willamette scholarship funds is long; however, a number of our named scholarships are not funded at today’s endowment level. A listing of these scholarships and how to contribute to them can be found on the Building Named Fund Scholarships page.

“Willamete is not just an
education; it’s an experience. You don’t
just grow academically here. Your entire perspective on what you
can accomplish changes. I am very grateful to the people who helped
make this experience possible.” –Katherine Eum
