The Oregon Destination ImagiNation El Dannen Memorial Scholarship
In memory of Oregon DI Board Member, long time supporter, and friend El Dannen, Oregon Destination ImagiNation has established the El Dannen Memorial Scholarship. Each spring, one or more applicants who intend to begin or continue study at a community or junior college, college, university, or trade school in the following fall may be awarded a scholarship, based upon their demonstrated commitment to Destination ImagiNation and creative problem solving (“CPS”). Applications will be evaluated without regard to applicants’ financial need, GPA, gender, age, citizenship, sexual preference, or ethnicity. Applicants must be Oregon residents. Winners will be announced at the DI affiliate tournament, which all applicants are encouraged to attend.

About El Dannen (1954-2009):
In September we lost an amazing friend ‐ someone who truly exemplified all of the tenets of Destination ImagiNation. El Dannen was innovative and inspiring ‐ using his creativity to spark the rest of us. He contributed so much to our team ‐ sometimes leading and other times letting others lead. El worked hard to solve problems, coming up with practical solutions, always with a twist. Whether he was supporting teams as a fair and conscientious appraiser (in pirate flair or Shrek ears, pin tie and crocs), serving as a board member, or trading pins with little kids, he modeled what everyone in Destination Imagination strives for. His crocs will be impossible to fill!
Destination ImagiNation Support Committee (DISC) Scholarships
Each year, DISC awards scholarships to graduating high school students and those currently in post-secondary educational programs. Applicants must have participated in Destination ImagiNation (or other Destination ImagiNation, Inc. programs) as team members or volunteers.
