. Stuart Delgado Jr. '30 was born Janu-
ary 12, 1913, in Memphis, Tennessee. He
graduated from Highland Park High School and
the University of Texas, where he was an active
member of the swim team and the Phi Gamma
Delta Fraternity. He served in the U.S. Navy
during WWII teaching at the Naval Academy in
Chicago and serving as port director in Singa-
pore. He retired with the rank of lt. commander
and remained active in the naval reserve. He re-
tired in 1977 from Atlantic Richfield Corp. He
was preceded in death by his wife of 62 years,
Margaret Sears Delgado.
Mr. Delgado loved his University and his Texas
Fiji brothers and left in his will a significant por-
tion of his estate to UT to benefit members of the
Tau Deuteron Chapter of the Phi Gamma Delta
Fraternity at the University of Texas.
This is the fourth year of awards since the estab-
lishment of the scholarship in 2016. The endow-
ment is currently managed by The Texas Exes
Association. The Fiji Scholarship Committee
reviews the list of eligible candidates provided
by Texas Exes through their formal application
process. Awards are formally announced at the
annual Pig Dinner ceremonies each spring. To
date, more than $525,000 has been awarded
to 71 eligible Texas Fijis. The Fiji Scholarship
Committee is reviewing formal applications for
academic year 2018-19, with awards expected to
exceed $175,000.
We are grateful to Brother Delgado for his gen-
erous gift and are honored to fulfill his final re-
quest to award scholarship funds to deserving
Texas Fijis.
