Patty J. Barton Memorial Scholarship

The Patty J. Barton Memorial Scholarship is a very special scholarship program offered by the Coos Bay Area Zonta Service Foundation and the Zonta Club of the Coos Bay Area. In May of 2024 we will be awarding our 5th scholarship! 

Patty Barton was an active, dedicated member of the Zonta Club for many years before she lost her battle with breast cancer in 2018. To honor her life and her incredible achievements, our club along with her husband Jon Barton established this scholarship program. 

Applicants need to effectively communicate their life challenges and their efforts to overcome roadblocks they experienced while trying to get back on  their education pathway.
