About Us

What We Do

Opportunity provides hope for the next generation. Our mission is to create life-changing opportunities and inspire students to achieve ‘impossible’ dreams.

At The Gad Dela Lawoey Foundation, we are doing our part to improve the chances of success by supporting those students, families, and organizations eager to make a difference in the world through STEM and/or mental health counseling.

We provide scholarships for tertiary-level students pursuing a degree in STEM. We help students at all age levels improve their access to STEM education through mentorship and support. Our scholarships and mentorship program help provide options for students struggling financially and mentally. Our goal is to give our students the tools and access to opportunities they need to help them succeed.

Honoring the Legacy of
Gad Dela Lawoey

The Gad Dela Lawoey Foundation was founded in honor of our late son, brother, uncle, mentor, and friend, Gad Lawoey.

As an electrical engineer, he understood the challenges students of color faced in entering the STEM fields. As such, he was always passionate about providing financial assistance to and mentoring those in need, especially Black
students, entering this field that he loved so much.

We honor his legacy by continuing his work – to inspire children and young adults of color a to dream big and aim
for greatness, no matter the odds. As Gad Lawoey would say: “We Move The Impossible” which meant “I Am Possible”.
