A Lasting Legacy
For millions of Italian Americans, the United States of America has offered a
nearly unlimited bounty of freedom and opportunity.
Yet today, Calabria – ancestral home to more Italian Americans than any other
single region of Italy – continues its struggle to uplift its economic fortunes.
Fortunately, this effort will now be strengthened by the addition of a growing
number of highly educated young men and women. Thanks to the hard work and
vision of one of Calabria’s sons, John R. Mott, the deserving young people of
Calabria are acquiring the skills and knowledge needed to develop the region’s
untapped potential.
Celebrating the 7th Anniversary of the
John R. Mott Scholarship Foundation
To date the Foundation has provided scholarships to 524 students!
The John R. Mott Scholarship Foundation Mourns the Loss of an Educator, Its Treasurer and Board Member, Father Paul S. Tipton
Father Tipton was vital in giving to the Board his wisdom and educational experience. He brought about the streamlining of the application process for a scholarship through the use of technology. Giving students an opportunity for education was a subject dear to the heart of a man who spent over thirty years of his life as president of several educational institutions. The Board has lost a true visionary and dear friend. We invite you to read the words written into the United States Congressional Record by his good friend, Congressman James P. McGovern of Massachusetts.
