Background: The Charles and Diane Busuttil Legacy Scholarship was established
to recognize individuals who understand the importance of sharing of
oneself to benefit others. Our family recognizes the important and
unique ways individuals impact those around them. Impacts that
sometimes may even change the course of a person’s journey. We
believe every person is able to impact the lives of others through their
words and actions – sometimes these words or actions start out very
small, but blossom into something spectacular! This scholarship is
NOT based on athletics, academics, financial need, popularity or any
other “preconceived idea”. This scholarship will recognize an
individual who identified a vision for himself/herself, and put that
vision into action. What are you leaving behind as you graduate?
How have you impacted others, maybe even yourself, to make a
difference where you’ve lived?
