SCHOLARSHIP
FUNDS
Through the Pasadena Community Foundation, scholarship funds are
easy to establish. They reflect the donor’s interest in supporting
the aspirations and capabilities of others to accomplish worthwhile
scientific, athletic, artistic or other goals. Scholarships such
as the Fulbright or Rhodes Scholarships are examples of how these
funds continue to honor their donors. The accomplishments of scholarship
recipients serve as a tribute to the wisdom and commitment of the
original donor.
Aydin Salek Memorial Leadership Scholarship Fund
 Wanting to honor the memory of their recently deceased son and keep alive his spirit of community participation and scholastic dedication, the parents of former South Pasadena student Aydin Salek have established a scholarship fund in his name with the Pasadena Community Foundation. The purpose of the fund will be to support other South Pasadena High School student leaders and/ or high-achieving students of Iranian descent who have demonstrated a special interest and dedication to improving Iranian-American affairs.
In establishing the Aydin Salek Memorial Leadership Scholarship Fund, his parents, Hamid and Azita Salek, know that Aydin’s impact on his community will continue to live through this legacy to other students who share Aydin’s academic achievements and leadership qualities.
The first grant will be awarded to one of Aydin’s classmates graduating in June 2010.
