The Sanilac County Community Foundation is pleased to announce Taylor DeLeon as the 2025 recipient of the Daniel James Brabant Scholarship, as well as the Daryl Walker Scholarship.
Taylor DeLeon, daughter of Tony and Danielle DeLeon, is a graduate of Carsonville-Port Sanilac High School. During high school, she was involved in theatre, band, National Honor Society, and Student Council, where she held leadership positions. She also participated in robotics, quiz bowl, bowling, and track. Taylor is attending the University of Michigan pursuing a degree in Biology, Health, and Science with the goal of entering the health field.
The Daniel James Brabant scholarship was established to commemorate the life of Daniel James Brabant. Dan was a graduate from Carsonville-Port Sanilac High School. He graduated with Honors from Michigan State University with a degree in Business and Economics and was an avid bow hunter, weightlifter, and Michigan State Fan.
The other scholarship Taylor received, the Daryl Walker Scholarship, was established in memory of Daryl Walker, a former teacher and superintendent of Carsonville-Port Sanilac Schools. Mr. Walker had a long history of making a positive impact on youth in the local community. His final wish was to be able to continue to promote education for our community’s youth. This scholarship is awarded to students who have demonstrated excellence in the academic and extracurricular areas.
Both scholarships are administered through the Sanilac County Community Foundation (SCCF). For more information on scholarship opportunities, visit www.SanilacFoundation.org or contact the Community Foundation office at 810-648-3634.
