Investing in Students
Giovanni D'Agostino
Legacy Scholarship
The scholarship recognizes students who demonstrate leadership, character, community service, academic dedication, perseverance, and a positive influence on others.
In His Honor
Carrying His Spirit Forward
Giovanni lived with kindness, determination, and a genuine desire to lift others up. This scholarship honors those same qualities in students who are ready to make their mark.
Every year, the Foundation will recognize students who reflect what Giovanni stood for — not perfection, but character, heart, and the courage to keep going.
