DIVERSITY ACHIEVEMENT SCHOLARSHIP

The scholarship began with an initial gift from Mike Ojibway in memory of his father, Jeff Ojibway. Jeff Ojibway of Chippewa Falls, WI worked as a mechanic for most of his life and shared his talents with anyone who needed help. A regular community volunteer and supporter of Eau Claire cultural events, Jeff believed in equity and fairness for all people regardless of their background or skin color, and regularly assisted local American Indian students in hosting the annual honoring education Pow-wow. Jeff routinely opened his home and heart to help underserved and underprivileged youth in the community, and is remembered for his generous, genuine support of multicultural students pursuing postsecondary education. This scholarship honors Jeff’s legacy by supporting a CVTC student who demonstrates financial need and a commitment to fairness, inclusion, inclusion, community support or overcoming barriers to educational success.
