Deborah Lyn Feigleson Memorial Scholarship

(All schools – see guidelines)

When a diving accident left Deborah Feigelson, at age 21, a quadriplegic, she vowed not to let her disability get in her way. After 11 months of hospitals and rehabilitation centers, she took control of her future from a wheelchair. She enrolled at Barry University and graduated in 1988 with a bachelor’s degree in computer science. Cancer ended her life in 1993, but not before her achievements inspired many. She lived her life as a testimonial to what disabled people can accomplish. The Deborah Feigelson Memorial Scholarship assists other disabled students reach their educational goals. Support this scholarship.

Guidelines:

• Full-time paraplegic or quadriplegic students.
• Other permanent disability considered.
