The following University of Massachusetts students have been awarded the 2011 Robert S. Karam Scholarship, made possible by a major donation from Fall River business leader Robert Karam, a 1967 graduate of UMass Dartmouth and a former chairman of the UMass Board of Trustees. The Karam Scholarship is designed to assist students from Fall River attending Durfee High School or of Lebanese descent, who are also attending or will be attending the University of Massachusetts.
"Each of these students is an inspirational example of the power of education to transform lives,'' Mr. Karam said. "I am confident that they will achieve great success in whatever endeavor they pursue, and through their success contribute to the civic life of their communities."
