Scholarships

Since its commencement in 2002, the Brian Forgione Foundation has awarded more than $25,000 in scholarships to Dunmore High School students to assist in providing opportunities in education.

About Our Scholarships

On behalf of the Foundation, the Brian Forgione Memorial Scholarship is awarded to senior male and/or female student(s) who best exemplify the zest for life and humorous, easy-going personality that Brian displayed during his four years at Dunmore High School. The award will be given to well-rounded student athletes, who lettered in at least one varsity sport while competing with relentless drive and determination. Similar to Brian, the past recipients have shown that they have demonstrated superior leadership skills, shown respect for fellow students and teachers, and have upheld the Dunmore tradition of class and character.
