In memory of Tamara Marie Hamilton, this full-ride scholarship will provide the means for a student in foster care to have the support they need in pursuing their education.
Tamara Marie Hamilton was constantly being a light to all in need. She had a heart of gold and always wanted to get involved with youth in foster care that had no support transitioning to college. She was not able to pursue this dream as she lost her battle to cancer so the Hamilton family honors her spirit by setting up the Tamara Hamilton Scholarship fund.
The University of Utah First Star Academy is a four-year education program that improves educational outcomes for youth in foster care in Utah. First Star scholars create community, explore passions, build on talents and overcome systemic barriers to achieve educational success.
Help us help foster youth change the course of their lives from abuse and neglect to academic achievement and self-sufficiency.
