The Rose and Carmine Perrotta Scholarship has been established by their loving daughter, Patricia, and her husband, Paul, to keep alive the memory of two hard working and extraordinarily generous people. Rose and Carmine, the children of immigrants, grew up on the Lower East Side of Manhattan in challenging economic circumstances. They achieved much and passed on to their children a strong desire to learn, to become productive citizens, and to reach out to those in need. The Rose and Carmine Perrotta Scholarship will be awarded to a Siena student in financial need who has demonstrated a commitment to learning.
