Last year, a $500 scholarship was created in loving memory of Dr. Rasberry, past director of Chabot College's Foster and Kinship Care Education Program. The scholarship was awarded to a student at Chabot College who had experienced foster care. We would like to continue this scholarship, and grow it to support at least two students for the upcoming scholarship application cycle.

Please consider making a gift of support for the Dr. Lois Jones-Rasberry Memorial Scholarship for Foster Youth on this Giving Tuesday. If you would like to do so, please visit the Chabot College Active Campaigns page at https://www.supportchabotcollege.org/active-campaigns.php
