The Rob Delaney Endowed Scholarship was established at Lewis University to honor the life and legacy of Rob Delaney—a dedicated student, alumnus, teacher, aviator, and friend.
Rob earned his Bachelor's degree in Aviation Flight Management at Lewis University in 2006. Upon graduating, he decided to pass on his knowledge and skills to future classes by becoming a Flight Instructor and Flight Team Coach at Lewis. After about 5 years of working at Lewis, Rob pursued his dream career as a First Officer for ExpressJet Airlines.
He was diagnosed with Rhabdomyosarcoma, but that didn't prevent him from continuing to share his love of flying. Although his career as an airline pilot was put on hold, he spent his time at Lewis selflessly sharing his passion for all things aviation. Unfortunately, Rob lost his battle in 2016 at age 31.
By supporting the Rob Delaney Endowed Scholarship for Aviation, you help keep his spirit alive—empowering the next generation of aviation leaders to follow their dreams, just as Rob did. Your generosity ensures his passion for flight continues to inspire for years to come.
