Giving

Pasco L. Schiavo, one of the largest benefactors in Penn State Hazleton’s history, died Dec. 29, 2018. His involvement with the campus spanned more than 50 years and included roles as a donor, president and member of the campus advisory board, advocate and instructor.

Longtime University benefactor Pasco Schiavo recently made a $35,000 gift to establish the Pasco L. Schiavo Open Doors Scholarship. Schiavo created the endowment under the “A Greater Penn State for 21st Century Excellence” campaign and will leverage a 2:1 University match, increasing the scholarship fund to $105,000.

A scholarship in honor of the late Matthew Gibson has been established at Penn State Hazleton by his parents, Paul and Lori Gibson. The Matthew Gibson Memorial Scholarship will provide financial support to assist full-time undergraduate students in their first or second year who are interested in pursuing their education in the field of chemistry.
