Romeo Dallaire Award Fund

The Romeo Dallaire Award Fund provides full tuition, books and living expenses for qualified sub-Saharan African students wishing to study the English language at Lewis & Clark College for one academic year. Students will enroll in classes with students from around the world at the Academic English Studies program.

She has completed her bachelor's degree in Political Science and Administration from the National University of Rwanda and plans to return to Africa to continue a master's degree in International Studies. She has worked with the Center for Conflict Management pursuing peace, tolerance, prevention and peaceful settlement of conflicts in Rwanda. Read Viviane's statement.

How to Help

Many students, faculty, staff, alumni and friends are committed to the Romeo Dallaire Award Fund. The primary goal is to permanently endow a scholarship that will provide for one African student to study English at Lewis & Clark for one academic year; an endowment of $200,000 will accomplish this.

Since tuition and residence hall accomodations will be waived by Lewis & Clark and Bon Appetit food services has generously offered a meal plan--100% of donations to this scholarship will be used to cover transportation, books and supplies.
