Port Angeles Chapter IV of the Philanthropic Education Organization has awarded Moriah Seaton a $2,000 grant from the Program for Continuing Education.

The scholarship is for women who have returned to college and are within two years of completing their course of study.

Seaton will receive a Bachelor of Science degree in dental hygiene from Clark College in Vancouver. She grew up and went to school in Sequim. She took her prerequisite classes at Peninsula College and hopes to return to this area upon completion of her course work.

PEO has 13 chapters on the Olympic Peninsula and offers six financial grants for women who are continuing their education.
