St. Francis Prep Honors Its Maestro of 50 Years With New Scholarship in Queens

St. Francis Preparatory School in Fresh Meadows has established the Dr. Robert Corbino Music Scholarship to honor the music teacher's 50 years of service. Principal Patrick McLaughlin announced that the scholarship will be awarded annually to an incoming freshman studying music.

Corbino began teaching music at the school in September 1976 and has served as the chair of the music department since 1980. The school is currently raising funds to reach a $100,000 goal to ensure the scholarship can be offered in perpetuity. McLaughlin stated that the school has reached approximately 70% of that financial goal.
