The Upper Columbia Academy (UCA) Foundation has given a total of $31,000 to 33 students for the 2006–07 school year. This foundation had its beginnings in 2004, with donors pledging more than $1 million to establish a scholarship endowment fund. The foundation is made up of board members, alumni and friends who care deeply about Christian education and is currently led by president Tom Stanyer; vice president Doug Wells; secretary/treasurer Jaclin Smith; and director Debbie Nelson. “We’re so excited to have these various scholarship opportunities available to our students, many of whom could not be here otherwise,” says Mark Lockwood, UCA’s vice principal for finance.
