The Nuzzo Family Foundation is pleased to announce that a scholarship is now available to outstanding area students whoare interested in attending King Low Heywood Thomas in Stamford. The Nuzzo Scholarship provides tuition funding for one qualified freshmen entering King’s Upper School each year. High achieving students are encouraged to apply to King.
Recipients of the Nuzzo Scholarship receive tuition scholarships for all four years of King’s Upper School program. Each scholar is selected based on his or her demonstration of academic excellence, leadership potential, and strength of character with demonstrated financial need. The scholarship is awarded to an incoming ninth grade student who otherwise could not afford an independent school education.
The Nuzzo Family Foundation was established by Salvatore J. Nuzzo in 1999 as a way of remembering the generosity that was shown to him as a high school student. Mr. Nuzzo was able to attend Yale University only through the financial support of his hometown community of Norwalk.
Many years later, Mr. Nuzzo established the Nuzzo Family Foundation. He asked his four children to select a school and set up a scholarship program for secondary school students in their own community. His daughter, Dana Nuzzo, decided to establish a scholarship for King Low Heywood Thomas in 2002. She chose King for its commitment to diversity, as well as its commitment to the individual student, as exhibited by King’s faculty. Ms. Nuzzo was also impressed by the numerous acceptances to top colleges and universities achieved by King students.
The Nuzzo Family Foundation hopes that their scholarships will inspire and encourage the local community to reach outand help accomplished students achieve their dreams of a better education.
“No gift is as far reaching or as long-lasting as the gift of a quality education,” said Ms. Nuzzo. “It is both a joy and an honor to make such a critical difference in the lives of gifted children.”
