Scott Delgadillo Scholarship
Congratulations to the 2017 Scotty D Scholarship Winners Jacqueline Cisneros and Kassandra Longoria
The Friends of Scott Foundation (Friends to Children With Cancer) offers a scholarship each year to cancer
patients currently on treatment or to survivors. Education was important to Scott. It was his dream to attend the
University of Notre Dame. In his memory FOS offers a scholarship program for individuals who have been
diagnosed with childhood cancer. We realize the importance of continuing education and know that pursuing this
goal is difficult when given a life-threatening diagnosis.
Our scholarship program is designed to provide funding to survivors who want to continue their education
through technical school, vocational school, junior college, or a four-year college or university. For more
information on how to apply for the FOS scholarship, please send an e-mail to Barbara Bailey.
