Utah State Scholarship Details

Charles “Otter” Sare had a dream to become a paramedic and to fulfill that dream he joined the United States Navy to serve this country as a Navy Corpsman. While deployed in Iraq he had the opportunity to provide medical care to his fellow soldiers as well as to the people of Iraq, by doing so he achieved his dream of being a paramedic. Unfortunately he lost his life in defense of this great nation and in helping the people of Iraq gain the freedoms that living in a democracy provides. “Otter” was a loving, compassionate and giving person and it is for this reason that the HN Charles “Otter” Sare Scholarship Foundation was formed, “in an effort to never stop giving to others and to help others achieve their dreams”.
