Vu's Story

Scholarship Opportunity

Vu's Story

Vu Nguyen escaped Vietnam with his family during the fall of Saigon in 1975. Raised in Modesto, California, he defied the odds to become an honor student and a dedicated officer in the Sacramento County Sheriff’s Department.


In 2007, while serving in the Gang Suppression Unit, Vu was tragically killed in the line of duty. His legacy continues through this foundation, offering hope and opportunity to others.
