The “Entrepreneur of the Year” is an award made possible by Madeira High School 2008 alumnus Phil Santoro. Phil was inspired by his experience here in Madeira and specifically his love for Mrs. Jordan’s Entrepreneur Class. As a way to give back, he created this scholarship to recognize excellence within this program.
One award of $5,000
