Medford, OR. February 15, 2023. Hunter Communications, a provider of fiber optic broadband internet, fixed wireless services, voice services, and managed IT to business and residential customers throughout Oregon and northern California, has announced it is funding three $2,500 Military Appreciation Scholarships for Veterans and active military personnel in counties it serves.

Hunter is accepting applications beginning February 15 through March 31, 2023, at 11:59 p.m. PST.
The Justin Jenkins Military Scholarship is funded by Hunter in memory of team member Justin Jenkins, who passed away on December 29, 2022. Affectionately known as JJ to those who knew and loved him, he was a Veteran of the United States Marine Corps and worked as an apprentice in Hunter’s Electrical Division. As stated in the program dedication, “JJ lived Hunter’s values each and every day, and his loss was deeply felt by all who knew him. This scholarship stands as a tribute to his unwavering spirit of generosity, service, and love.”
To apply for the scholarship, Veterans or active military personnel are asked to complete an online form and submit an essay of up to 500 words OR submit a video up to five minutes in length detailing how they have exhibited one, some, or all of Hunter’s company values.
