8:56 a.m., Sept. 29, 2009----An interest meeting concerning the David A. Plastino Scholars Program will be held at 7 p.m., Tuesday, Oct. 20, in Room 204 Gore Hall.
The Plastino Scholars Program was established in 2007 by a gift from UD alumnus David A. Plastino.
The program awards study grants to selected undergraduate students at the University of Delaware who exhibit extraordinary talent, promise and imagination. The grants support self-designed, off-campus learning experiences that make a transformational difference in the lives of Plastino Scholars and enable them to pursue a passionate interest to a degree not otherwise possible.
Normally, four Plastino Scholars will be awarded each year. The amount of each award will depend on the nature of the experience proposed.
