Thai-American Scholarship Award goes to!

We’re pleased to announce, Catherine Le, as the recipient of the first Thai-American Scholarship Fund for 2009! She is currently a biology major at the University of California, Merced. Based on Catherine’s academic record, compassion to help the community, and perseverance through a challenging childhood, Catherine was an easy choice as the first recipient.

We believe in Catherine and her ability to accomplish all the goals she has set for herself to achieve. We hope the Thai American Scholarship fund will be able to assist other deserving individuals in reaching their college and professional goals.

The entire STTT team wishes Catherine the best of luck.

The Thai American Scholarship Fund was founded by two members of the SavetheThaiTemple group to promote cultural awareness for Thais growing up in America.

The Scholarship is currently funded by private donations and will eventually open up to the public as awareness of the fund grows. Our goal was to plant the seed for an underserved ethnic community and build community awareness. We intend on building a foundation for future Thai Americans to keep our Thai heritage a part of our daily lives and establishing a Scholarship to help students reach their professional goals.
