All of the Celentano children attended the Bellport High School and this scholarship is their family’s way of honoring music education to the next generation. The Bellport High School allowed them to have the opportunity of a fantastic music education with the help of a staff that inspires it’s students to create music. The Celentano Foundation founded a scholarship dedicated to students in need who are pursuing music as a major and/or minor at the collegiate level. This scholarship is to be given to one student a year at the Bellport High School in the amount of $250 per year. The first scholarship is to be given at the Award Ceremony at the Bellport High School in May 2019.
