Our story

Dr. Paglia was a distinguished surgical oncologist who practiced medicine for over 40 years in New York City. He was a compassionate physician, a dedicated father, and a beloved friend to everyone who knew him. Personally, Michael helped support my goal to obtain a clinical doctorate in Occupational Therapy. I am just one of the thousands of people Michael was of service to during his lifetime. This scholarship was created to honor Michael's generous, philanthropic nature in hopes that his legacy continues to live on in the fields of medicine and healthcare.

Our goal

I have created a scholarship to honor my dear friend Dr. Paglia and his generous, philanthropic spirit.This fund is specifically for friends and family who would like to contribute to the Dr. Michael Paglia Scholarship. This scholarship aims to honor the life of Dr. Michael Paglia by helping students overcome the financial barriers they face so they can pursue their ambitions and influence the field of medicine. Any first-generation undergraduate or graduate student with lower socioeconomic status may apply for this scholarship if they’re pursuing a degree in the field of healthcare.

This scholarship fund allows Dr. Mike to be as generous in death as he was in life to help others achieve goals which otherwise may not have been attainable.

I worked with Dr. Paglia back in the 1960's, and realize how important scholarship money is. It created the most fantastic physician to treat people with cancer.
