Veronica D'Amico is one of just six University of Delaware students awarded a 2013-2014 Autism Delaware scholarship to pursue higher education.

The Lewes, DE native received the Autism Delaware Daniel and Lois Gray Memorial Scholarship, which was created specifically for eligible UD undergraduate and graduate students working toward a professional position in the autism community.

D’Amico is majoring in elementary education and minoring in special education with a concentration in middle school math. D’Amico said she hopes to graduate in 2014 and is currently working toward a master’s degree in education, exceptional children and youth (specifically autism and severe disabilities). After graduating, D’Amico plans to teach in an autism-specific early intervention program in Delaware similar to the Sussex Consortium Delaware Autism Program where she’s working this summer.
