Berberian study abroad scholarship applications due Dec. 29

The Rambo Rozi Berberian Scholarship at the Delaware Community Foundation is open for applications for 2024. This scholarship is for students at Delaware Technical Community College who are studying abroad in the spring and summer of 2024. Delaware Tech Owens Campus students will be able to apply through the DCF portal at delcf.org/scholarships.

The application for the scholarship closes Friday, Dec. 29, and selected students will be notified of their awards in spring 2024. Three scholarships worth $500 each will be awarded to students.

Lewes resident Rozi Diane Berberian, who got the nickname “Rambo Rozi” from her friends for her fearlessness throughout her fight against cancer, believed an international outlook and skills give people a competitive edge in a culturally diverse world. During her life, she spent countless hours and raised thousands of dollars to support overseas study for students of Delaware Technical Community College Owens Campus. 

Rozi Berberian lost her fight against cancer in July 2020 at the age of 38. To honor her memory and further her work to build that international outlook, the Berberian family has established the Rambo Rozi Berberian Scholarship Fund at the DCF to help offset travel costs and tuition for Delaware Tech Owens Campus students who want to study abroad.

The family also welcomes gifts to the fund at delcf.org/donations/berberian.
