President Daly established the Kenneth D. Daly Scholarship in memory of his mother, Margaret E. Daly, who passed away on September 4, 2019, after a wonderful life of giving and caring. This Scholarship created in her honor will give students the “gift of education” so that her legacy of giving will live on.
The Scholarship has raised more than $750,000 — including President Daly’s match. President Daly shares, “Like so many mothers from her generation, my Mom did not attend college but instead gave the “gift of education” to me and my siblings. I will always remember her staying up late at night and keeping me company with a cup of tea as I finished my homework and studies. I would now like to provide this gift of education to a new generation of students.”
The funds help make a difference in the lives of vulnerable students who deserve this opportunity. Your donation — which will be matched by President Daly — directly supports St. Thomas Aquinas College students when they need it most.
