Catrina Celestine Aquilino Memorial Scholarship Fund

Catrina Celestine Aquilino was a committed lawyer whose life was cut short by triple negative breast cancer at the age of thirty-four. During her career, Catrina helped people throughout multiple communities. Her passion was justice should be accessible, of which, Catrina made a reality for many. She always felt that no matter where a person was born or which family they were born into, it would never play into whether she would care. She was brilliant and generous to all. In her teenage years, Catrina volunteered at the US Holocaust Museum. While in University, she was able to visit Ghana to see how women worked, spent one summer in Guatemala interviewing indigenous peoples, and took coursework in France. She was fluent in three languages.

This fund has been created to continuously support the Catrina Celestine Aquilino Memorial Scholarship annually.
