Nathan A. Pescatore Memorial Scholarship Fund

The Nathan A. Pescatore Memorial Scholarship Fund was established at The Community Foundation of Westmoreland County, a component of The Pittsburgh Foundation, by Nathan's mother and sisters to celebrate Nathan's love of life and his community. Nathan attended Greater Latrobe High School and served as a volunteer firefighter to the Lloydsville Volunteer Fire Department in Westmoreland County. Nathan's life was tragically cut short at age 17 in the line of duty as he responded to a service call. This scholarship serves to honor Nathan's life by providing scholarship assistance to graduating seniors from a Westmoreland County High School wishing to further their education and pursuing a degree or studies in the fields of science, technology, engineering/manufacturing, fire or health care. The scholarship provides an average award of $500 to support educational pursuits at accredited vocational or technical trade schools, or 2- or 4-year colleges or universities. Applicants must maintain a minimum cumulative GPA of 2.5 and reside in Westmoreland County, Pennsylvania.
