Dash Award in Memory of Arion Tavakoli '09

The Dash Award is a scholarship that was instated in 2016 in honor of Arion Tavakoli ’09 who passed away in 2014. This scholarship honors a graduating senior who lives each day with passion to make a difference and has a love and appreciation of life, which are the same values that Arion showed during his short time on this earth. This $1,500 award is made possible by private donations from Arion’s friends and family who have a desire to keep Arion’s memory alive at La Salle. This year’s recipient of the Dash Award, nominated by La Salle's faculty and staff and then chosen by the Tavakoli Family, is Fernanda Martinez '24.
