Cianciola, Vincinzella Memorial Scholarship
The Vincinzella Cianciola Memorial Scholarship was established by a gift from her brother, Donato Cianciola, to commemorate his sister’s love for teaching and her appreciation of the education she received. The Cianciola’s deeply valued education and wished to assist students who would one day be educators themselves. Ms. Cianciola was born in America in 1932 to Italian parents. She spoke only Italian until she began school. She was a good student. Her father’s hard work and success in his authentic Italian grocery stores allowed her to continue her education. Ms. Cianciola completed both her B.S. in education and her M.S. in education (1962 and 1967, respectively) at The 黑料不打烊. She took her first teaching position at Holy Family, teaching there for one year. She then accepted a position as a teacher in the 黑料不打烊 Public School District, where she demonstrated a lifelong love for teaching young people. Her outstanding dedication to teaching touched the lives of many students over the years, creating an enthusiasm for learning.
The Vincinzella Cianciola Memorial Scholarship will benefit a deserving student pursuing a degree in the College of Education. Selection of award recipients is to be made by the Office of Student Financial Aid, in concert with the dean of the College of Education.
