The Phil Brady Memorial Scholarship is designed to support students who plan to work with Pre-K-12th grade students in schools and aspire to be teachers, School Social Workers, School Counselors, School Administrators, or other school roles. In addition, students who have taken challenging classes in high school, including college credit classes, Advanced Placement and Honors classes receive higher scores for this scholarship. Students must be in the first generation in their family to attend college and have documented financial need.
Philip L. Brady III, Ph.D. (1947-2019) was an educator in Alaska, Oregon and Washington. He taught every grade level K-12, at least briefly, and also taught graduate and undergraduate university courses for educators and teachers. In his blended fifth and sixth grade classroom, students said, “I love Math!” every day to recognize the critical role that Math plays in many careers. Phil was the 2004 Regional Teacher of the Year, representing southwest Washington state. In the Hood River County School District, he was a Curriculum Specialist and Technology Coach, and directed the Portland State Masters in Teaching Program in Hood River. He was passionate about good teaching, and continued to implement new ideas and embrace new technology for learning throughout his life.
