Inspiring Stories from the Recipients of the Inaugural Yaden Family Endowed Scholarship

PSU Alums David and Janice Yaden created the Yaden Family endowed scholarship to benefit hardworking students in the College of Urban and Public Affairs, who may not otherwise have the funds to attend college. Students Bridget Bassett and Mladen Kolundzija were the first recipients of this generous scholarship, and were honored along with other scholarship recipients at an awards ceremony on April 16 2013. Below, these inspiring students who have both risen beyond troubled paths speak to how this scholarship will help them achieve their academic goals.

A World of Cool: David and Janice Yaden

Coming from hardworking, blue collar, supportive but poor families, the Yadens both received scholarships during their time at Portland State and remained integral to their future successes. This year two undergraduate students in the College of Urban & Public Affairs will be the first recipients of the Yaden family endowed scholarship; their goal for this endowment is to help students from similar backgrounds. “It makes me really happy to think that someone like me whose father had maybe finished 8th Grade could get a university degree with a little financial help.” Janice says.
