  1. ✦ Tam Tran Scholarship. During her tenure as an advisor to the César Chávez Scholarship Fund, Tam recommended that we consider changing our policy to include non-Latino students as recipients of the César Chávez scholarships. In memory of Tam and to honor her request, a separate scholarship in Tam Tran’s name has been established and will be managed by the Chávez Fund. These scholarship funds will be available to all undocumented students. Send a donation to honor Tam, and contribute to her DREAM of making college accessible to all undocumented students.

The César Chávez Scholarship Fund was established in 2004 by a group of individuals from Rhode Island’s Latino community in an effort to assist young Latinos in developing or enhancing their academic goals. We also wish to honor the well-known Latino and civil rights labor leader, César Chávez by encouraging service and learn community projects young people throughout the state.

In 2008, the César Chávez Scholarship Fund joined the Coalition of Advocates for Student Opportunities (CASO) and local student groups in a campaign to promote the removal of barriers that deny undocumented students access to higher education in the State of Rhode Island. In conjunction with CASO, the Chávez Fund is happy to sponsor and offer the Tam Tran Scholarship primarily for undocumented students. Click here to visit the  CASO website. »
