RIROA/COL Paul P. Pederzani Memorial Scholarship

The Rhode Island Department of ROA is a professional organization representing military members from all service branches.  As a way of supporting its membership a number of annual scholarships are awarded based solely  on academic and individual achievements.  The amount of a single award may be for up to $1,200.00.  However, should the Award Committee determine that there are numerous deserving applicants, awards may be divided as appropriate.  Presentation of the award will take place at the department's annual Scholarship Awards Night in late Spring at a date to be determined.
