The Al Forthan Memorial Recover Scholarship is open to high school seniors in Oregon. In 2011, over $35,000 was awarded to 36 students around Oregon.

The purpose of the scholarship is to honor Al Forthan, and encourage students to explore how addiction has impacted our community and think about solutions to this complex problem. Al was the first alumnus to work at the VOA Oregon Men's Residential Center. He touched hundreds of lives and brought love, wisdom, integrity, humility, and a deep passion and commitment to recovery.
