Salvatore Sciandra was born in 1928 on Buffalo’s west side and grew up on Busti, Seventh and Plymouth Avenues. Like so many Americans during the Great Depression, his family was very poor. His father lost his concrete business, but quickly found work again in waste disposal for the city. The value of hard work and perseverance was a lesson early learned and applied often throughout Salvatore’s life.
Each year, two – $2,000.00 scholarships will be awarded to students attending ECC’s Building Trades or Construction Management programs. Our goal is to offer this opportunity to City of Buffalo and BOCES students.
