Dr. Theodore Lazzaro has donated $50,000 to the university to start a scholarship in his name for students pursuing a degree in the medical field. While it will be available to all full-time students, preference will be given to students who graduated from high schools in Indiana and Westmoreland Counties. Aestique is a plastic surgery company with locations in Greensburg, Shadyside and Wexford.
In a statement, Lazzaro said that he feels a college education is “the key to a better life for people who want to serve the community and improve people’s quality of life.” He also said the scholarship is a commitment with the university to support and advance the development of “programs and interventions that improve access to quality care by educating healthcare providers and improving the diagnosis and management of medical conditions.”
