The University of Guam Endowment Foundation is proud to announce a $50,000 endowed gift from former UOG Board of Regent Christopher Felix to establish the Rosario Tamares Felix Scholarship. This meaningful gift honors the memory of his late wife, Rosario “Rose” Tamares Felix, and reflects the couple’s shared commitment to education, faith, and community.

This endowment will fund two $1,000 scholarships annually—one for an undergraduate student and one for a graduate student majoring in accounting—supporting students who reflect Rosario’s values of compassion, perseverance, and service to others.

Rosario Tamares Felix was known for her grace, selflessness, and unwavering spirituality. She was a source of light for many, dedicating her time and heart to organizations like Rainbows for All Children Guam and LifeWorks Guam, where she advocated for children and families experiencing trauma and hardship. Even during her battle with illness, she remained courageous and faithful—a true embodiment of quiet strength.

Christopher Felix, a respected business leader and community advocate, served on the University of Guam Board of Regents from November 2013 to November 2019, following his appointment by Governor Edward B. Calvo. During his tenure, Felix chaired the Student Affairs, Scholarship, Alumni Relations, and Honorary Degree Committee for four years and led the Physical Facilities Committee from 2017 to 2018. His leadership helped guide student support initiatives and enhance campus infrastructure—efforts that continue to benefit the UOG community today.
