The John P. Salamone Memorial Endowed Scholarship was established by family and friends with proceeds from the John P. Salamone Memorial Foundation in order to honor John Patrick Salamone, class of 1986, who died in the World Trade Center disaster on September 11, 2001. The scholarship is awarded annually to a student leader from New Jersey, New York or Connecticut who is involved, or demonstrates the potential to be involved in campus activities such as the intramural program, the athletic program, etc. The student must maintain a 2.5 or higher grade point average.
