From the Department of American Indian Studies at the University of Washington:
As a tribute to his life and legacy, his family has created the Marvin Oliver Memorial Endowed Fund Scholarship to uplift a cause that was important to Marvin: support of undergraduate students in the Department of American Indian Studies.
The Honoree’s surviving family hopes this fund may help to recognize students within American Indian Studies for their academic successes, artist innovations, and/or leadership within the community. This Spring, we were thrilled to open applications and honor our first awardees of the scholarship. We chose 4 students who embodied the spirit of the scholarship, including Marvin’s trait of honoring his gifts by sharing them and paying it forward.
We are so happy to honor each of our outstanding awardees $1,000 to continue their academic journey. If you’d like to help us award future recipients of this scholarship, consider making a donation to the Marvin Oliver Endowed Memorial Fund.
