Alum Seeds Opportunities With New Scholarship Fund
Allen Corotto ’60, the grandson of immigrants, chose USF Law over other law schools because he believed the Jesuits offered a legal education based on facts and logical thinking.
Corotto became the first lawyer in his family and then went on to a 35-year career with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Now retired, Corotto’s background and experiences at USF Law motivated him to make estate plans to help future law students. Corotto has named USF School of Law in his estate plan to create the Antone Corotto and Anna Angoustures Endowed Scholarship in honor of his parents.
“My family was very proud of me. They also gave me the money I needed for tuition, and I am grateful for their support. There are many students whose families cannot financially support them. By including USF in my trust, I want to provide the opportunity for students in need to become lawyers. Maybe some scholarship recipients will become the first lawyers in their families,” says Corotto.
Thirty percent of first-year USF Law students are first-generation college graduates and more than 90% receive some form of financial aid.
