Navin Narayan College Scholarship and Navin Narayan Speaker Award
Navin Narayan, a former chair of the National Youth Council, was a dedicated, compassionate and innovative volunteer and leader. A sought-after national and international speaker on human rights, and a tireless advocate for Red Cross causes, Navin changed the way youth are now connected with the American Red Cross.
Tragically, Navin passed away at the age of 23 after battling Leukemia. Shortly after his death, the American Red Cross National Youth Council created a scholarship fund for Red Cross youth that exemplify the principles Navin made so apparent in order to remember his legacy.
Each year, the National Youth Council distributes two types of awards to high school youth: college scholarships and a speaker award. Visit this page to learn more information about the awards and how to apply.
