Three Students Receive Scholarships from atTAcK addiction

November 7, 2023

Delaware Tech students Amanda Chen, Justin McNatt, and Jenn Tribbett, were each awarded a $1,000 scholarship from atTAcK addiction during the organization’s gala on October 19, 2023. The trio was selected based upon 500-word essays they submitted that explained how they have had an impact or will impact the fight against substance use disorder within their community or school.

atTAcK addiction is a Delaware non-profit organization founded in 2013 in memory of Tyler Armstrong Keister after his accidental overdose. The volunteer organization provides assistance and support for those who suffer from or are impacted by addiction through meetings, housing, and working to influence relevant legislation.

The organization has been presenting scholarships since 2016, and the scholarship program is open to any student pursuing a college education (two- or four-year degree) or a certified trade program and who meets the eligibility requirements. The eligibility requirements call for the applicant to currently be in recovery and is returning to college and pursuing a behavioral science degree in order to make an impact in the field of substance use disorder.
