Constantino Family Foundation Announces $25,000 Scholarship to Support USF Army ROTC Students
BURLINGAME, California – [November 7, 2024] – The Constantino Family Foundation is proud to announce the establishment of the LTC (R) Paul J. Constantino Memorial Scholarship with a $25,000 gift to the University of San Francisco (USF). This named scholarship will provide critical financial support to students enrolled in USF's Army Reserve Officer Training Corps (ROTC) program.
Named in honor of LTC (R) Paul J. Constantino, a decorated military officer and former USF student, this scholarship continues a legacy of service by empowering the next generation of student-military leaders. The scholarship will be awarded to USF ROTC students with unmet financial support, ensuring that economic barriers do not stand in the way of academic success and service to the nation.
"This scholarship reflects our family’s deep commitment to supporting education and leadership development, particularly within the armed forces community," said Patrick Constantino, President of the Constantino Family Foundation. "We are honored to partner with the University of San Francisco to support students who are dedicated to both academic excellence and national service."
The LTC (R) Paul J. Constantino Memorial Scholarship will be managed as a current-use fund, offering immediate, discretionary support to deserving ROTC students at the direction of USF's Office of Financial Aid. It is the Foundation’s hope that this scholarship will not only alleviate financial pressures but also inspire recipients to pursue their educational goals with passion and purpose.
Louise Lucchesi, Sr. Director of Gift Planning at USF, underscored the importance of the scholarship: "This generous gift provides critical support to our Army ROTC students, enabling them to dedicate themselves fully to both their academic and leadership development. The Constantino Family Foundation’s contribution will have a lasting impact on their future success."
The Constantino Family Foundation, through initiatives like this, remains dedicated to its mission of empowering future leaders, improving communities, and fostering opportunities for young scholars. This scholarship builds on the Foundation’s ongoing efforts to support education and community development across the country.
