Brolin Graham

When donors support scholarships for students like Brolin Graham, they might just save a life.

Brolin Graham’s decision to major in outdoor recreation goes back to when he was just 13 years old, as he became involved in the Civil Air Patrol emergency services in search and rescue and disaster relief. He trained to participate in search operations and eventually assisted in planning and instructing search and rescue training.

When Outdoor Recreation students like Brolin receive scholarships, they are not burdened with a need to work full-time jobs to pay for tuition, books, and housing. Instead, they have more time to study, and they give back to their communities with volunteer hours.

Brolin volunteered as a representative to the Spokane County Search and Rescue Council and was elected to serve as president of the local chapter of Explorer Search and Rescue. Indirectly, donors who chose to support Brolin’s EWU scholarship may have saved a life.
