New Scholarship Honoring Erik Odom
The Forks Chamber of Commerce is accepting applications for its 2026 scholarship program, offering three $1,000 scholarships to graduating students pursuing higher education. Among this year’s awards is a new scholarship honoring actor Erik Odom, created to support students interested in drama or performance-related fields.
The newly established Erik Odom Scholarship marks the first year the Chamber has offered a designated award for students pursuing degrees in theater, performance or similar creative disciplines. Odom, known to many in Forks as a frequent guest at the annual Forever Twilight in Forks festival each September, is contributing a portion of his appearance fees to fund the scholarship.
The scholarship joins an existing award honoring retired Judge Erik Rohrer, recognized as a longtime advocate and supporter of the Chamber and local community.
