The Louis E. Cimaglia ’08 Memorial Scholarship in Social Work
This memorial scholarship has been established to celebrate the life of Louis E. Cimaglia, whose life was tragically cut short on March 23, 2018, nine years after a car accident left him with a traumatic brain injury.
Lou received his Bachelor of Social Work from Monmouth University in 2008, and was two months away from receiving his Master of Social Work from Monmouth University when he was in the devastating accident.
This scholarship has been established to commemorate Lou’s exceptional commitment to children and families, and to inspire future MSW students to explore clinical opportunities in the disabilities field.
