PAULA SCHOLARSHIPS
Paula Scholarships are granted to students who would otherwise be unable to
afford higher education. These scholarships are distributed through select
schools and organizations. The Isabel Allende Foundation does not accept
requests for these scholarships.
In 2008, in conjunction with Marin Education Fund, my foundation established
a special Paula scholarship in honor of Adais Marvez.
Adais is a brave and compassionate woman who emigrated to the United States
in her late teens, alone and without any money. She has since created a life
for herself here, established her own day care center and is a monthly donor
to my foundation. To read more about Adais, click here.
All our scholarships are administered through the Marin Education Fund.
Students living in Marin County may apply to:
Marin Education Fund, San Rafael, California
