Owen Delatte

A hearty congratulations to Owen Delatte, the 2026 recipient of the McGowan Leadership Scholarship.

A lifelong NOAH member, Owen attended his first NOAH conference at the age of 1, and has been involved ever since. Owen has a long history of advocating and educating about albinism, and says that the connections he and his family made through NOAH have enabled him to help others.

Owen will be attending the University of Louisiana at Lafayette in the fall, where he will pursue a degree in Chemical Engineering with a minor in Chemistry!
