Daniel B. Fleming '93 Memorial Scholarship

The Daniel B. Fleming '93 Memorial Award is a scholarship for English students who are pursuing teaching careers. Since student teaching is a full-time, semester-long commitment that prevents many from maintaining outside employment, teacher candidates may experience financial constraints during their experience. This award has been created to ease those constraints. The award's eponym, Daniel B. Fleming, taught junior high language arts and high school English, and was a Saint Xavier University alumnus. The donor believes that Dan, who knew first-hand how difficult it was to student teach and work, would have been pleased to be able to help students in this manner.
