This scholarship is awarded each year to a deserving Darien High School Senior involved in after-school work that demonstrates good work ethics and community service, and plans to pursue a career in business. This is the 19th year that Edward Tunick has donated a percentage of the Prom tuxedo rentals. To date, Tunick has donated well over $17,000.00 to Scholarship Funds associated with Darien High School.
