Welcome to the Paul A. Fusco Memorial Scholar Athlete Award. This scholarship was established in the summer of 2015 to honor the life of former Eclipse Engineering team member, Paul Fusco.
The Paul A. Fusco Memorial Scholar Athlete Award is an annual, merit based competition, that focuses on rewarding academic achievement, a commitment to serving others (in school, in the community or at home), a strong work ethic, and leadership qualities. The intent of the award is to provide help with the costs of college education for a student athlete who has participated on sanctioned teams at the high school level and who exemplifies the qualities and values of Eclipse Engineering. This is a one-time award of $500. Finalists will be chosen and the award recipient will be selected in May of each year.
The Paul A. Fusco Memorial Scholar Athlete Award is funded through Eclipse Engineering, LLC. The committee, in making scholarships available, does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, creed, gender, sexual orientation, handicap or national/ethnic origin.
