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 aim 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.

This scholarship is intended for students in and/or from the Fort Wayne area only. Previous applicants, including previous recipients, may re-apply for this scholarship each year and be considered upon meeting all the requirements at the time of applying. Please note that students that are immediate family members (first and second generation) of financial and non-financial members of Delta Sigma Theta, Inc. are not eligible to apply.
