Diego Rene Cardoza Memorial Scholarship
Diego Renee Cardoza was a kind, wonderful, and smart young man who lost his life in July 2020 due to a traumatic brain injury.
Diego loved dancing and the outdoors and was looking forward to going to college before his untimely passing. Diego would have been graduating in May with the rest of his class and would have wanted his legacy to live on by helping his peers. Diego was loved by many in his short life and his absence is felt in his family and community.
This scholarship seeks to honor the memory of Diego Rene Cardoza by supporting students in Diego’s class.
