The Building Futures Scholarship fund fosters hope and opportunity for Delgado students as they embark on new career paths. We appreciate the leadership and compassion of the Foundation and every supporter who invests in our students. ”

Trosclair said:  “I know firsthand how transformative Delgado can be in the life of a student and am honored to see the Building Futures Scholarship grow into the resource it has become. When our students succeed, our communities thrive, and the local economy is strengthened. The Foundation and the Building Futures scholarship remain committed to such success.”
