TRIO Scholarship Programs

TRIO Greater Cleveland Chapter

TRIO Greater Cleveland Chapter sponsors the second annual scholarship in memory of Michael A. Corea. $1,000 non-renewable scholarships will be awarded to organ transplant recipients, who are Ohio residents. Generous donations by family and friends support this scholarship in honor of Mike, who was born with Biliary Artesia, a rare degenerative liver disease causing him to become a liver recipient at thirteen. Mike lived each day to its fullest, taking nothing for granted, and was not afraid to fail. Mike also became an organ donor when his young life abruptly ended three days before his Ohio State graduation.
