The Clifton Education Foundation is proud to administer the Daniel Listmeier Memorial Scholarships, available to two students in the Clifton High School ASPIRE program. They honor Danny's commitment to the students the program serves.
Danny, a former custodian in the Clifton High School Annex, was deeply invested in mentoring at-risk youth, providing guidance, friendship, and often financial support. The scholarships, established and funded by his parents Lani and Jerry Pollastro after Danny's untimely death, honor his kind and generous spirit. His family is deeply rooted in the Clifton school community.

Two $500 scholarships are awarded annually. Students are evaluated on their determination to succeed, their future goals and plans, and the support of the ASPIRE Program faculty. All eligible ASPIRE students are considered automatically; there is no application. Two students are selected by a committee determined by the ASPIRE program coordinator.
