“I went through the one-term EMT program at Chemeketa in spring of 2024 and I have since then become a part-time EMT/Firefighter at a local fire station and I absolutely love my job. I am looking to further my education and skills by becoming a paramedic. I love being out in the field and being able to help people when they are in need of medical attention.

When I was first going through the EMT program I wasn’t planning on going any further with my career, but after becoming an EMT and I started working, I realized my dream of becoming a paramedic.

I honestly couldn’t imagine doing any other job.

Maddie on the Salem Campus

I am currently a volunteer Sergeant with the Linn County Sheriff Search and Rescue. I have been with the team for almost three years. I have been able to help hurt and injured people who were stuck out in the wilderness and have been part of life-saving rescue missions.

Being a part of this team, I have experienced so many life-changing experiences and I couldn’t be more grateful to be a part of it. Being on Search and Rescue has encouraged me to pursue a career in Emergency Medical Services and I wouldn’t be where I am today if I hadn’t joined the program.

Your thoughtfulness and willingness to donate is very appreciated.

Having this scholarship has encouraged me to keep pushing through the most challenging parts of school. I am currently in college full-time, so this scholarship really means a lot to me. I look forward to giving back to my community and giving back to the people I serve through advanced life support treatment. Thank you!”

Meet the McClintocks

When John and Nancy McClintock established the Clint Foundation in the early 90’s, they sought to empower hard-working students who have a desire to better their communities.

The Clint Foundation Scholarship has unique guiding principles. Students that are selected to receive the scholarship commit to:

  1. Help those who help themselves.
  2. Make a moral commitment to give back in the future.
  3. Realize the importance of working for something.
  4. Appreciate and respect the value of all work.
  5. Realize that future success depends on the efforts of others at all levels.

Since the McClintocks brought the scholarship to Chemeketa in 2011, they've been able to help dozens of students each year afford college. When we first partnered with John and Nancy McClintock, the Clint Foundation issued us a challenge to give back to students that understand their important role in our community with a matching pledge toward their Clint Foundation Scholarship. Following the passing of Eve McClintock, our beloved Clint Foundation administrator, John and Nancy McClintock have made a final contribution for this year’s match, making this year our final Clint Foundation Match opportunity. Please help us honor their incredible legacy of support by making a contribution to the Clint Match this Giving Tuesday.
