Since 1941, the DCA has been awarding scholarships
to graduates of Darien High School based on financial need, scholastic standing and the potential of the applicant. Our Scholarship Committee reads the applications submitted
by the students along with their parents' tax return and
interviews all students during May and June of each year.

Special scholarship grants this year included:

  • The Lucy K. Wiggins Award - a memorial scholarship to a senior going into a helping profession.
  • The Darien Lassie League Scholarship - which benefits a softball player showing good sportsmanship
  • "Path the the Future" awards
  • "Edward Simas Memorial Award"
  • "The Joy Family Scholarship"

Scholarship funds are raised by DCA groups,
The DCA Thrift Shop, and your donations.

The need for scholarship assistance is great.
Our community is not immune to the financial
hardships caused by job loss, divorce, parental
abandonment and disabilities. The DCA is proud
of the role it takes in assisting with higher education
for students in need.
