Overview
The Aldo DeDominicis Scholarship Fund supports students who have received a Farmington UNICO scholarship, promoting educational opportunities for those who have demonstrated financial need and maintained a "B" average. Established in honor of Aldo DeDominicis, an immigrant who built a successful media career, the fund reflects his belief in sharing wealth to foster community growth. This initiative aims to empower young scholars in the Greater Hartford area, encouraging them to achieve their academic goals and contribute positively to society.
DeDominicis, called "Uncle Aldo" by those who knew him, was adamant that his fortune should be shared with others. This scholarship is for students who have already received a UNICO-Farmington scholarship; these awards complement the UNICO one-year awards.
