About Us

The Stephen Pellino Scholarship Foundation was created to honor the legacy of a man who dedicated his life to justice, service, and the betterment of his community. As an attorney, Stephen Pellino was more than a legal advocate—he was a mentor, a leader, and a trusted friend whose unwavering integrity shaped the town for generations.

This foundation reflects Stephen’s deep commitment to education, fairness, and community service. His passion for guiding others extended beyond his profession, as he found fulfillment in mentoring young minds and fostering a spirit of excellence. Whether through his love for basketball or his appreciation for photography, Stephen valued dedication, creativity, and perseverance—qualities this scholarship seeks to recognize and support.

By awarding scholarships to deserving students who exemplify these values, the Stephen Pellino Scholarship Foundation ensures that his legacy lives on. Through this initiative, we aim to empower future leaders who share his passion for service, integrity, and making a meaningful impact on their communities.
