“It was time for us to become active supporters of education in Livermore and Livermore students. With our children’s encouragement and guidance (Kathy – LHS ’83 and Rob – LHS ’87), we decided to fund two scholarships in honor of the teachers who inspired them.” —Jay and Mary Davis

Fund and Name a Scholarship

Students can plan wisely when they receive a multi-year scholarship. You will have the opportunity to name a scholarship after yourself or someone you wish to honor when you fund a two- or four-year scholarship. Perhaps you would like to honor someone who has positively impacted your life such as a special teacher, mentor or family member. You may choose to direct your scholarship toward a vocational, community college, undergraduate or graduate recipient and will learn which scholar will benefit from your generous gift. You will be recognized as a Named Scholarship Donor.

Endow and Name a Scholarship

Through a sizable investment, you may endow a scholarship in perpetuity. You have the opportunity to name your scholarship after yourself or someone you wish to honor and can designate specific courses of study and/or other eligibility criteria. You may choose to direct your endowed scholarship toward vocational, community college, undergraduate or graduate recipients and will learn which scholars will benefit from your generous gift. You will be recognized as a philanthropic leader and an Endowed Scholarship Donor.

To further discuss your philanthropic goals, please contact Carolyn Siegfried, Executive Director at 925- 456-3700 or csiegfried@pedrozzi.org.

“We chose to direct our annual donation to the foundation to fund two scholarships named in honor of Paula Orrell and Beth Trutner.  During the Foundation’s early years, Paula and Beth successfully led the board as it determined how to effectively implement Mario Pedrozzi’s wishes to support local students.  They also had the foresight to realize that the Foundation provided an excellent opportunity for other community members to join Mario in supporting local students.” —Howard and Elaine Storms
