The John Gioia Scholarship has been established to honor the memory of John Gioia who was born and raised in Brooklyn, New York in a loving family with very limited financial resources. Through determination and hard work, John went on to a distinguished career in the United States Air Force, retiring as a colonel and achieved great success in the private sector as a founding partner and CEO of Robbins-Gioia, a management consulting firm. The John Gioia Scholarship will be awarded to a Siena student in financial need to encourage that student to achieve success through determination and hard work.
