Description

The Floretta A. Clancy Memorial Scholarship was established in 1974 as a memorial to Mrs. Floretta A. Clancy, a charter member of the Fort Wayne Alumnae Chapter of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc. Mrs. Clancy was a dedicated teacher who sought to enhance the lives of all who came under her tutelage. It is the intention of the sorority that the scholarship be made available to students of African American heritage, male or female, who have demonstrated academic promise, community involvement, financial need, and are planning to pursue or continue education beyond high school at an accredited institution of higher education.

Students graduating, currently matriculating, and who have previously received awards are all eligible to apply.
