Trang Doan Memorial Scholarship For International
Student Involvement at Boise State
A scholarship will be awarded annually to one international
student who displays commitment to involvement in campus life at Boise
Sate University.
Trang Doan was an international student from Viet Nam who was
tragically killed in a car accident in 2004. Trang was an active student
leader. She worked at the Women's Center & Cultural Center for nearly
two years and served as an officer in the International Student Association,
Vietnamese Student Association and BARCADA, the Filipino student club.
Trang's dream was for the Cultural Center to be a vibrant, active place

commonalities. A fund has been created to provide a scholarship to one
international student each year who demonstrates the values that Trang
held so dear.
