Be a Scholarship Volunteer

Each spring, volunteers with the Multnomah Athletic Foundation step into one of the most meaningful roles in our community — serving on the Scholarship Review Team. These dedicated volunteers review applications for the Loprinzi and MAC Scholar Athlete programs, thoughtfully considering stories of resilience, leadership, athletic dedication, academic achievement, and financial need.

Our scholarships exist because we believe participation in athletics helps young people reach their full potential, and that support can make a significant difference in a student’s ability to pursue higher education. As a reviewer, you become part of that impact.

Volunteers receive training and support, complete individual reviews online, and then gather for facilitated in-person deliberation meetings to help select finalists from high schools across the Portland metro area. It’s a powerful way to connect with inspiring young leaders and ensure opportunity reaches those who need it most.

If you care about youth, education, athletics, and equity — this is your moment. Your time, perspective, and voice can help open doors.

Join us. Help read. Help decide. Change a life.

The foundation is currently seeking volunteers to join the 2026 review teams for their scholarship opportunities. Volunteers can participate in one review team or multiple, if schedules allow.
