The Helping Hand Scholarship Fund was established as a bequest of Carl and Patricia Pignoli in 2018.
ThanksUSA will award the renewable Helping Hand Scholarship to the spouse or child of a disabled or fallen military member. Scholarship recipients must begin their post high school education at a community college and may receive up to $38,000 if they wish to continue to obtain a four-year Bachelor’s Degree.
 
​"We believe it's important to give back, especially to military families who have given so much of their lives for our freedom."

​Carl and Patricia Pignoli
