Education is the great equalizer.
Founded in 2020, the Nardone Scholarship is committed to providing financial aid to exceptional community oriented students in Northeastern PA.
Joseph & Jean Nardone Scholarship Fund
The scholarship fund was established in honor of Joseph and Jean Nardone, who touched the hearts of everyone that entered their lives. Joseph and Jean Nardone were passionate about education and were esteemed for demonstrating the finest qualities of this community.
Joseph Nardone was involved in his children’s sports by coaching and
attending each of their games. Joseph was an avid and dedicated Penn
State alumni. After graduating from Penn State, Joseph maintained an
admirable and successful career as an Engineer.
Jean Nardone was the personification of love, as she cared for everyone
that entered her life. Jean thoroughly enjoyed sharing her cooking with
each and every person she came across. Jean was also involved in many
community events and was a valuable team member at Crestwood School
District, where she held many roles, including the booster club and as the
PTA president.
Their three children were graduates of Crestwood High School and owe their success to their parents for their support and guidance. The effect Joseph and Jean Nardone had on others spread well beyond their children, reaching their entire community. Joseph and Jean Nardone adored and cherished their family and friends, where their memories will live on.
Our Criteria
