Testimonials
. . . . . .

Both your scholarship prize and your heartfelt support have aided me in my development as a college student. I appreciate all your help and concern
over the last few months.

- Frank Ferrante, Harvard College '06

The FIERI-Boston Scholarship not only helped to defer the cost of a Boston College education, but also gave me a membership into their club.... The people I have met and new friends I have made through FIERI have been tremendous. From aiding me to establish my future in business, reminding me of my culture through special events, or just staying involved in my life and achievements, I cannot say enough about FIERI.
