The Robert Garofalo Music Scholarship

This scholarship fund was established through the generosity of Dr. Robert J. Garofalo. Dr. Garofalo was raised in Scranton, PA and graduated from MU in 1960 with a Bachelor of Science degree in Music Education. After graduation from Mansfield, Dr. Garofalo earned his Ph.D. in Musicology and Theory at The Catholic University of America in Washington, DC. Since then he has devoted his life to music teaching, performing, scholarship, and service, mostly at institutions of higher learning. Throughout his distinguished career, Dr. Garofalo always remained supportive of Mansfield University. His high regard for the quality education he received has never wavered. By establishing this scholarship, he is reaffirming his belief in Mansfield and making the dream of a quality education more affordable to students from Lackawanna County, PA.
