Support the Omar Ruiz Memorial Scholarship for Men in Child Development
The Omar Ruiz Memorial Scholarship for Men in Child Development was created to honor
the memory of a beloved student in the Child Development department. Omar was determined
to follow his passion to work with children and families. Omar had the biggest heart
when it came to helping others. Omar’s giving and loving nature allowed for his legacy
to be forever remembered. He was loved by faculty and fellow students for his fun-loving
and gracious nature. He is survived by his parents, Aurora and Armando, sister, Leilani
and brother, Armando.
Full- and part-time male students with a 3.0 GPA or higher are encouraged to apply
