The Medio J. Bacco Scholarship was the first scholarship established at IMHS, and was set up for
the purpose of awarding scholarships to graduating senior of IMHS who plan to pursue a degree
in the field of engineering, including architecture and construction management. Applicants
must also come from a family of modest means and have demonstrated proficiency in
mathematics.
The first Bacco Scholarship was awarded during the 1948-49 school year in the amount of
$1,000. Since its inception, more than $1.6 million dollars has been awarded to IMHS students
from the Bacco Scholarship. IMHS and the Bacco Family and 75th Bacco Committee look
forward to honoring past recipients and celebrating the wonderful success of the Medio J.
Bacco Scholarship.
