Donor's scholarship eases student's financial burden

"I've wanted to become a teacher since the second grade. Once I visited UD, I knew I wanted to come here, but going to college placed a financial burden on my family.  I am so grateful for the scholarship I received through the Fontana Family Education Scholarship.  It will help make my dream come true."   Morgan Gravatt, ETE sophomore
