Keith H. Delong, Jr. Memorial Scholarship

Keith graduated from Delta College in 1989 and worked for many years in the Information Technology Department at Delta College. One of his great accomplishments was that he was responsible for bringing the Internet to Delta and is the reason Delta obtained the domain name Delta.edu. This was a huge accomplishment for the College, as a bigger Delta College in California also wanted the same domain name. Keith was highly respected by his coworkers at Delta, who described him as being quiet, unassuming, knowledgeable, and one of the best, if not the best. Keith was known as an excellent communicator who treated everyone with respect. In addition to his great knowledge of information technology, Keith was an avid photographer and was an amateur Ham Radio operator. Keith passed away unexpectedly in 2020, and this endowment was created through an estate gift Keith directed to Delta College.
