Paul D. Pierotti
Memorial Scholarship
This scholarship fund was established in 2006 by the Forest Preserve District of DuPage County President D. “Dewey” Pierotti, Jr. and his wife, Leslie, in memory of their late son Paul.
“This is a fitting tribute to Paul. He had a great love of the outdoors, especially for the forest preserves of DuPage County. This scholarship will enable deserving students with similar interests to pursue an education related to nature.”
