Aidan Milligan – Villanova University VUnited Scholars (Ella’s Excellent Scholarship Award)

Aidan is a two-time Rockin’ Recipient and this year’s recipient of the Ruby’s Rainbow Ella’s Excellent Scholarship Award. This fall he begins his second year in the VUnited Scholars program at Villanova University, where he is studying Business/Entrepreneurship and Culinary Arts. He plans to start a salsa company after graduation.

Aidan had a terrific first-year experience at Villanova. He loves playing drums in the Villanova marching and concert band, swimming and managing the swim team as well as the dive team, acting on stage, and throwing pottery. He also enjoys his job working at a convenience store on campus. He was especially proud last year when the women’s swimming team won the Big Ten championship!

This year, Aidan hopes to continue all of these amazing activities at Villanova. He also has two big goals—living independently in an apartment, and learning how to start his own salsa business next year!

We believe in you, Aidan! You rock!
