Amanda "Ducky" Quesada became a sister of the Phi Sigma Sigma sorority in Fall 2010. She lit up the room with her smile and had the biggest heart. She was diagnosed with Primary Pulmonary Hypertension when she was one. PPH is a rare lung disease which leads to the narrowing of the blood vessels of the lungs. Doctors had told her that she was not expected to live past the age of 10, but Amanda was a fighter and she proved them all wrong. Her dream was to attend college and she always had her heart set on attending Montclair State University, even as a young child. She pursued that dream and became the first person in her family to attend college. Unfortunately, Amanda passed away on July 22nd, 2014 at the age of 22. Amanda was an integral part of Montclair State's campus community. She had such an amazing passion for our school and demonstrated school pride like none other. She truly touched the lives of everyone she met and left a lasting impression on them. The "Amanda Quesada Memorial Scholarship" is to be awarded to a student who demonstrates unbelievable school spirit and has given back to the community by participating in volunteer work and philanthropic endeavors.

This scholarship is intended for non-traditional or veteran students.

This award is intended for full-time students who have maintained a high standard of excellence in their academic endeavors. Awards are based on academic achievement, campus community involvement, and leadership experience.
