Damien Ficek Memorial Scholarship
Distributions from this fund shall be used to fund one or more scholarships to a student(s) involved in the Athletic Training Program with sincere financial need and who displays leadership skills in the classroom and out. It is the hope of Mrs. Ficek that the ideal recipient of this award will closely match Damien Ficek's defining characteristics. Damien overcame many odds to achieve his goals in life through his inherent moral courage and fortitude. He was ambitious toward improving not only his own life, the lives of others.
