Lisa Regan Durr Community Activism Scholarship Fund

Tri-Town Against Racism has established the Lisa Regan Durr Community Activism Scholarship Fund. This fund is a tribute to Durr’s unwavering commitment to social justice and her instrumental role in the early formation of Tri-Town Against Racism.  

Durr was a passionate advocate for racial equity and believed deeply in the power of education to foster an anti-racist community in the Tri-Town. Her dedication to social justice, learning and action inspired others to do the same. 

To honor Durr’s memory, this scholarship will be awarded to a student of color attending school in the Tri-Town who embodies the values she championed, such as her passion for volunteerism. 

Durr’s work lives on in all of us, and through this scholarship, we hope to empower the next generation of leaders committed to equity and change.  

The Lisa Regan Durr Community Activism Scholarshipseeks to support a student who reflects both academic commitment and a deep dedication to community service. 

This scholarship is intended for a student who has actively volunteered in their community and who identifies as a student of color, including those who are biracial or who may be perceived as racially diverse. 

By recognizing students who have demonstrated compassion, leadership, and a commitment to uplifting others, this scholarship aims to invest in individuals whose experiences and service strengthen and enrich their communities. 

Applications are due no later than April 30. Decisions will be announced on May 14.

Applications should be emailed to info@tritownagainstracism.org. All supporting documents should be in one PDF file.
