Three Oregon students receive Rentec Direct's annual Tech Mastery Scholarship for driving the future of technology
GRANTS PASS, Ore., July 15, 2025 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Rentec Direct is celebrating 10 years of empowering the next generation of technology leaders through its annual Tech Mastery Scholarship program. This year, three standout Oregon students were awarded scholarships for their passion for innovation and their drive to make a lasting impact in the tech industry. Students enrolled in technology-related programs at Oregon State University, Portland State University and Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University were each awarded $500 scholarships to support their academic journeys.
"This scholarship will make a real difference in helping me stay on track with my goals in tech," said Mariam Saleh, a junior at Portland State University and one of the recipients of the 2025 Tech Mastery Scholarship. "It will ease the financial pressure of school, help me pay down debt and reduce the need to take a gap term just to catch up. With this support, I can focus more fully on learning, growing and building the future I've been working toward."
All 2025 Tech Mastery Scholarship recipients are either Oregon residents or currently attend an Oregon-based college or university. This year's student leaders include:
- Mariam Saleh, a junior at Portland State University pursuing a degree in Computer & Data Science. Mariam is passionate about representing individuals who often feel unseen in the tech industry. She aspires to become a software engineer and eventually start her own business.
- Esso Alvarez, a freshman at Oregon State University majoring in Mechanical Engineering. Esso dreams of becoming a design engineer, blending creativity, sustainability and innovation to solve real-world problems and bring new ideas to life.
- Carson Willard, a Rogue River resident and freshman at Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University pursuing a degree in Aeronautical Science. Carson plans to work toward a career as a commercial airline pilot, combining technical skill with leadership and service.
"As a tech company founded, built and headquartered in Oregon, we're deeply committed to supporting the local tech sector and helping grow the pipeline of emerging talent right here in our community," said Kaycee Miller, Chair of the Tech Mastery Scholarship at Rentec Direct. "We are continuously investing in the ongoing education of our own team, and we find it incredibly rewarding to recognize and support students who are passionate about making a difference in the technology field."
