In honor of Myrna, and her dedication to the students of Oxnard School District, the Myrna Abdel-Gawad Memorial Scholarship Fund (the Myrna Scholarship) has been formed. It was founded by a group of colleagues, and her daughter, and is intended to provide assistance to a student striving to attain a degree and education at a four-year college or university. We have formed a non-profit corporation with a Board of Directors, established criteria, and the endowed scholarship application and award will be administered through the Ventura County Community Foundation, in perpetuity.
The Myrna Scholarship and the Ventura County Community Foundation (VCCF) have Section 501(c)(3) tax-exempt status with the Internal Revenue Service. All donations are tax-deductible. We would be grateful if you would consider donating or donating again to the Myrna Scholarship, through VCCF, particularly in honor of her birthday on November 14.
We thank you in advance for your support. Your donation is greatly appreciated and will be used to further the educational goals and dreams of an Oxnard School District student. The Scholarship through the Ventura County Community Foundation is administered in and under the laws of the State of California. Donations should be directed to VCCF and earmarked specifically for the Myrna Abdel-Gawad Memorial Scholarship Fund.
