About the Program

The Odette Moren Scholarship program was established through a generous gift from the Odette R. Moren Living Trust. Odette Moren was born in France and immigrated to the United States in her early 20's. She spent her career teaching French and, later, operating a bistro in Palo Alto. It was her desire to dedicate part of her estate to provide scholarship opportunities to students from East Palo Alto.
