David C. Maloney Scholarship 

This scholarship is focused on high academic achievement and is presented to a student who is currently enrolled in a human service program.  The words “human service” or” human services” must be in the program title as the term is not used to include programs in other related disciplines.  The degree sought may be at the associates, bachelor’s or master’s level.  Special consideration is given to applicants with special needs or minority status. One scholarship is awarded to one student each year as long as the criteria are met.
