Grandparents, great aunts and uncles, and close family friends make huge impacts in our lives, and what they have taught us and the lessons they pass on to us are invaluable. Many of us learn about moral values, respect, accountability, and more through these family members. The team at D’Amico & Pettinicchi knows firsthand just how valuable these lessons can be, which is why we have created the D’Amico & Pettinicchi Generational Wisdom Scholarship!
This $2,500 scholarship is intended to assist one student with the financial burden of tuition. In order to apply, please tell us about the generational wisdom you’ve experienced throughout your life. What is a lesson or teaching you’ve learned from a grandparent, great aunt, uncle, or family friend that has influenced an aspect of your life? Is there anything you can do to pass down these lessons or teachings to your community or a younger generation? We would love to hear from all of you, so please apply by our September 30th, 2024 deadline.
