Pollanz Promise
PORT ANGELES — Isabelle Cottam and Tristian Turner, Stevens Middle School eighth-grade students, were awarded the promise of a $32,000 college scholarship — $8,000 per year for four years — by the family of Gladys Christopher Pollanz.
Cottam is the daughter of Amber Mozingo.
Turner is the son of Racheal and Sonny Turner.
The scholarships, known as Pollanz Promise Scholarships, are given providing the students meet scholarship criteria and graduate from Port Angeles High School or Lincoln High School on time. For these two recipients, this means a June 2019 graduation date.
Finalists for the scholarships for 2015, all from Stevens, were Jasmine Cottam, Carly Moe, Bonnie Peters and Madison Saiz.
The scholarship was started in 2005 by Pollanz’s family and is awarded annually by the family and the Port Angeles Education Foundation.
“Students are nominated by their teachers and staff, submit an application and then go through an interview process,” said Tina Smith-O’Hara, Port Angeles School District communications and community relations coordinator.
“The interview committee was very impressed by all six of this year’s applicants. These students participate in a process that many of their peers won’t take part in for many years. It was very difficult to choose just two. All finalists were very deserving.”
Pollanz graduated from Port Angeles’ Roosevelt High School in 1923 as salutatorian of her class.
The death of her father necessitated her work as a legal secretary to help support the family rather than attend college. She worked hard through the years, investing in the stock market.
When she died in 2003, Pollanz left $1 million to establish a scholarship fund for high school graduates to attend a four-year college.
