"'Smart enough' wins every time if it can be coupled with personality, social grace,
and respect for your fellow man."
- Tom Pesola
The
Dr. Thomas N. Pesola Memorial Scholarship fund was established after
Tom's death in 2009. A lifelong diabetic who came from humble
beginnings, Dr. Pesola relied on scholarship money for the economically
and medically unfortunate. In that vein, the fund awards scholarship
money to diabetic Massachusetts residents who pursue higher education or attend
workshops or camps to learn how to manage their diabetes. For more information, and to access the 2011 scholarship application, click here.
Thank you for your interest in our efforts to honor Tom and benefit the community.
