Big Heart Scholarship

Jonathan Gentile lived his life to the fullest, while supporting his friends and community as much as he could. 

Despite having died in a kayaking accident at the age of 37, his kindness and happy-go-lucky demeanor will live on forever through those he has impacted and through this scholarship. The Gentile Family believes that having a big heart is one of the most important things for the world right now. The Big Heart Scholarship will be given to a student based on their character, rather than GPA or athletic involvement, supporting students who put others first and are kind, inclusive, and spread joy.

High school students are eligible to apply if they attend Bethel Park High School and have a big heart for helping others. To apply, write about how you help others and work to create a more inclusive environment at your school.
