Greg Friscia Scholarship

Greg Friscia Scholarship

Greg's life embodied unwavering loyalty to his family, his school, and his friends, along with a sincere desire to make a meaningful difference in the lives of others. An Eagle Scout, honors student, and multi-sport athlete, Greg demonstrated excellence not only through his accomplishments but also through his character.

Greg understood that seeking a leadership title is not the same as leading. Whether serving as a team captain, house president, or simply as a friend and classmate, he led by example—with humility, integrity, and a positive approach to life.

Greg will forever be remembered as a beloved member of Xavier College Preparatory's Class of 2013.
