The 2025 Nick Adamo Memorial Scholarship

In association with the Cliffside Park High School Hall of Fame, the Nick Adamo Memorial Scholarship is given annually to senior scholar athletes.

In high school, Nick Adamo excelled in the classroom, graduating salutatorian of the class of 1992 while integrating himself as a valuable member of both varsity football and baseball teams. His achievements at Cliffside Park High School opened the doors for him to attend Yale University, where we went from a football walk-on to the team's offensive lineman of the year as a senior. After graduating, he began volunteering as a football coach at Cliffside Park High School in the fall of 1996.

Sadly, Nick's life was taken shortly thereafter in a plane crash, and a scholarship was set up the following spring in his memory to ensure his heart and spirit live on to inspire future generations of students.

To celebrate the 28th year of its existence, the CPHS Hall of Fame has set a goal of giving scholarships totalling $3,000 to graduating students in 2025. All donations will be given directly to the scholarship fund - please consider helping us reach our goal.
