Daniel V. Marrano Memorial Scholarship Support for Mental Health
Daniel V. Marrano was a beloved son who valued education and likely would have benefited from a more accessible mental health system.
The stigmatization of mental health prevents many people struggling from reaching out to loved ones or professionals for encouragement and assistance. Even when people find the strength to seek help, additional barriers arise due to the high costs of healthcare and the limited availability of therapists and doctors.
This scholarship aims to honor the memory of Daniel V. Marrano by supporting students who are passionate about contributing to the mental health field.
Any undergraduate or graduate student who has been affected by a severely mentally ill family member may apply for this scholarship opportunity if they’re going into the mental health field.
