The Joseph R. Maresco Leadership Scholarship

This scholarship fund was established through the generosity of Joseph and Maryann Maresco. Joseph is a former Vice President of Student Affairs at Mansfield University. His wife, Maryann, is a retired elementary school teacher from Tioga County school district. The Maresco’s began their lives in Mansfield in 1972 when Joseph was appointed Associate Dean of students at Mansfield State College, now known as Mansfield University. Both Joseph and Maryann have nurtured deep ties of friendship and loyalty to Mansfield University and the Mansfield Community. Their generous support, leadership, and enthusiasm for Mansfield University and the education that has been provided has never wavered. By establishing this scholarship, they are reaffirming their belief in Mansfield University and making a dream of a quality education more affordable. It is hoped that those who benefit from this scholarship realize the rich rewards and comfort that can be possible by involvement in activities beyond the classroom.
