The Cozzolino Family Scholarship was endowed with an initial gift of $20,000 by Beta Beta brother Andrew Cozzolino in loving memory of his parents, Pasquale and Marie Cozzolino, and his brother, Gennaro Cozzolino. This scholarship honors his family’s legacy and reflects Andrew’s gratitude for the impact Alpha Phi Delta has had on his life and career.

Andrew credits much of his career success to Alpha Phi Delta’s influence, recalling his time as a scholarship recipient in 1988 and 1991. Coming from limited family resources, he worked part-time throughout college, and the scholarships he received helped cover tuition and textbook expenses. This support contributed to his success as a student and motivated his deep involvement in fraternity life.

Though Andrew scaled back his national fraternity involvement when he moved overseas, he has remained connected and is now honored to serve as a Director of the Alpha Phi Delta Foundation. From afar, he is proud to support future generations through the Cozzolino Family Scholarship, paying tribute to his family and giving back to the fraternity that played such a meaningful role in his life.
