Nick was first and foremost a scholar. He had an amazing aptitude for science and math and an unquenchable thirst for knowledge. He was a brilliant software programmer and problem solver. His code has been described as having grace and style. He rarely was seen without his trusty and colorful backpack that carried his Mac Book to capture spontaneous coding ideas and some light reading on topics such as string theory or Java classes.
This scholarship will be given to a graduating high school senior at the high school Nicholas attended, who plans on pursuing a degree in physics or computer science. The scholarship will be determined by family members of Nicholas Paggi through an essay process.
