The Issam and Dr. Rima Abbas Endowed Scholarship

United StatesHigh School

ABOUT THE FUND “Until we have equality in education, we won’t have an equal society.” — Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor Issam and Dr. Rima Abbas, who along with their three children, were tragically killed by a drunk driver in 2019, believed deeply in the power of higher education and its ability to help shape a brighter and more equitable future for all. They felt strongly that access to higher education ought to be a right, rather than a privilege. In keeping with these core beliefs, The Abbas Family Red Wagon Fund , housed at the Center for Arab American Philanthropy (CAAP), launched a new initiative in summer 2020, The Issam and Dr. Rima Abbas Endowed Scholarship for exceptionally driven and talented senior high school students at Fordson High School , who wish to make a difference in the world. This scholarship program aims to further the commitment that Issam and Dr. Rima — both Fordson alumns — had to higher education. Thanks to a generous gift from an anonymous donor that was matched by Dr. Rima’s sister, Rana Abbas Taylor and her husband Tom Taylor, an initial $100,000 has been secured. With your help, we hope to grow The Issam and Dr. Rima Abbas Endowed Scholarship to $200,000 so that we can positively impact even more students. Click here to read more about the Abbas family. We hope you will consider supporting this important initiative and upholding the Abbas legacy by making a donation in honor of Issam and Dr. Rima Abbas.
