About Scholarship
The Michael D. Harding Memorial Scholarship was established to honor Michael (Mike) Harding. Upon graduating high school, Mike enrolled at Clark College. In 1969, Mike enlisted in the U.S. Army and became a helicopter pilot. After military service, Mike earned a B.S. degree in education and a Master's degree from Evergreen State University. Mike began his teaching career at Fort Vancouver High School in the mid-1980's, teaching special education. When the new Skyview High School was completed, Mike took a position in the Special Education department. He retired from Skyview in early 2000 as a result of lingering disabilities from his military service. Mike was an avid sports fan, outdoorsman and hunting dog owner. He died May 22, 2017. Applicants must be a graduating senior from Columbia River High School. Preference will be given to students who received assistance from Special Education Services; with financial need; and planning to attend a public educational institution in Washington state. Students should demonstrate involvement in extracurricular activities, including (but not limited to): athletics, clubs, community service, and employment. Please visit the scholarship's website or contact the Community Foundation for Southwest Washington for more information.
