Carmella A. Macaluso (’46) Endowed Scholarship

Additional Information

The Carmella A. Macaluso ('46) Endowed Scholarship was established with a gift from the Estate of Carmella A. Macaluso. Carmella was the oldest child of Italian immigrants who settled in Newark. She worked on a production line of a radio tube manufacturing company during World War II, while attending the University at night. Carmella graduated in 1946, intending to pursue a career in education. However, because she was unable to secure a permanent position, she joined the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey and remained with them for 40 years, securing a Master's in Public Administration along the way. Carmella was a prodigious reader and actively mentored dozens of workers at the Port Authority. Her favorite expression was "learn something new every day."

The scholarship is awarded each year to an education student who demonstrates financial need and has an interest in Italian Studies.

The award is limited to cover only tuition and fees.
