Suzanne M. DiLernia Memorial Endowed Scholarship Fund

Suzanne M. DiLernia was a bright, passionate, promising law student in her second year at NY Law School when she was diagnosed with stage IIB Hodgkin’s Lymphoma in March 2011. Hopeful, Sue was ready to conquer this disease, a testament to the determined and strong-willed person she was. Bravely fighting until the very end, on August 18, 2011, Sue lost her battle with cancer.

The Suzanne M. DiLernia Memorial Scholarship Fund was created in order to keep Sue’s memory alive. Every year the fund awards a scholarship to a graduating Plainville High School senior who best exemplifies Sue’s qualities of determination, commitment to education, and devotion to family and friends.
