Lewis and Clark offers a great academic program, but athletics also caught my eye because being a part of a good team where I could feel welcomed was essential for me.

All the instructors here want their students to succeed and be the best they can be. Transitioning from high school to college can be intimidating but everyone here makes you feel very comfortable and are always happy to help you.

I hadn’t really applied to any other schools because I was pretty much set on going to Lewis and Clark, then transferring to a four-year school. Earning the scholarship solidified that decision.
