The Nick Massaro Education Scholarship is established for the purpose of awarding one scholarship to a graduating senior of Glenwood Springs High School who either intends to enter the field of education or who is the child of an employee of the Roaring Fork School District RE-1.
Nick Massaro spent his lifetime in education. His first teaching job in the Roaring Fork Valley was in 1950 in Basalt. As a teacher, principal, coach, assistant superintendent, and superintendent for the Roaring Fork School District for 33 years, Massaro gave the community one of its greatest gifts, the gift of education.
In 2008, to honor his career in the valley, Massaro’s four sons, all graduates of Glenwood Springs High School, created the Nick Massaro Education Scholarship established through the Roaring Fork Education Foundation. The scholarship is available for GSHS seniors who intend to pursue a career in education or who are children of employees of the school district.

“Obviously, I’m honored and touched by the formation of this scholarship. I’ve always believed, and in fact have preached, that people who had help with their college expenses have a moral obligation to pay that back in future generations. It’s so gratifying to see that happen.”
