Their situations vary greatly. But they all share one motivation — to help students afford a college education. Because of these donors’ generosity, in 2010 the Hartford Foundation awarded nearly $1 million in support of college scholarships to more than 630 traditional-aged students and adult learners at four-year and two-year colleges, as well as local community colleges. Most of the scholarships for traditional-aged students are renewable, enabling students to receive significant support for each of their years in college as long as they maintain a good academic record. Moreover, these funds are permanent endowments, which means that the Foundation will award scholarships to area students forever. There are three ways to make a substantial impact on area students through the Hartford Foundation: 1. With a sizeable gift you can create an Individual Scholarship Fund (like those listed in this report) and name specific selection criteria for your scholar. The Foundation can help you decide how to participate in reviewing or nominating potential recipients. We will also handle scholarship distributions and renewal applications, and help you communicate with your scholar if you choose. 2. You can contribute any amount to the Hartford Foundation’s General Scholarship Endowment Fund. Contributions are invested in our broadly diversified portfolio and the Fund makes four-year scholarship awards — currently of $3,000 per academic year — for residents of Greater Hartford. 3. You can contribute any amount to the Community College Scholarship Endowment Fund. Contributions are invested in our broadly diversified portfolio and the Fund makes three-year increasing amount scholarship awards. Currently, the awards are for graduating high school seniors attending a community college in the fall after their graduation from high school. 2 Hartford Foundation for Public Giving College Scholarship Recipients 35969 ScholarRecipientBk_ScholRecipBk11 9/19/11 6:22 PM Page 3 For Nicholas and Miranda, college scholarships linked education, careers — and marriage! Nicholas and Miranda Criscitelli have a lot in common — same age (24), same hometown (Enfield), same high school (Enrico Fermi), same impressive record of academic/athletic/extracurricular activities, and the same high-energy work ethic. And one more thing: In 2004, they were the only students from Enrico Fermi to be awarded college scholarships by the Hartford Foundation for Public Giving. Both praise their supportive families, but “neither of our families were able to help us financially pay for college,” said Miranda. “If we didn’t get scholarships, we weren’t going to be able to go to college, at least not right away.” “A list of scholarships in the guidance office was updated once a week and we’d go down there to see if there was anything new we could apply for,” said Nick. “We both applied to the Hartford Foundation and we were lucky enough to get interviews on the same day,” said Miranda. “A month or two later we learned we had both received a scholarship so we were able to go to the colleges of our choice.” Nick graduated from Westfield State College in Massachusetts in 2008 and works in the law and compliance division for the MassMutual Financial Group in Springfield. Miranda graduated the same year from Bay Path College, also in Massachusetts, and is an elementary school teacher in Holyoke. Nick and Miranda, who still live in Enfield, were dating at the time they were awarded the scholarships and like to joke that the scholarships helped cement their relationship. With the aid of the scholarships — and the two full-time jobs they worked — they were able to graduate debt-free. Now they’re showing appreciation for the help they received. “We want to give back and right now this is how we are able to do that,” said Nick. He serves on the Scholarship Interview Committee at the Hartford Foundation and both appeared on a panel exploring the college experience during the seventh annual Scholarship Recipient Reception held June 9 at Saint Joseph College in West Hartford for the 2011-12 recipients. “At this point in our lives we certainly are not able to provide our own scholarship fund or contribute to the Hartford Foundation endowment, but we want to do what we can,” said Miranda. Serving on the panel at the reception for new scholarship recipients was “one way that we could give back,” said Nick. “I think for those entering college to hear the challenges of going to college, and all that it entails, from someone who is not so far removed from it, is definitely a big help.” When interviewing prospective scholarship recipients, Nick not only examines grades and financial need but looks for a student “who understands what he or she wants in life and is going to benefit from college.” Any advice for new college students? From Miranda: From Nick: “We both set really high goals for “Take full advantage of all that’s ourselves in college and in high offered. Someone at the last school. Even if we were not able scholarship reception said college to achieve them, at least they is the only time in your life when were there. What’s the worst everyone is focused on you.

Both her Sport and Medical grandmother and mother were single parents and were the sole source of income for their young Sciences Academy children. Dajee has been driven to break the cycle and graduate from high school and then college. She started her high school career at Bulkeley where she earned high honors. In her sophomore year, she transferred to the Sport and Medical Sciences Academy where she participated in the Aetna HPPI Academy Junior/Senior Doctors Academy, completing 40 hours of training over two years.

  • Solar on Connecticut Schools: Why Not on Yours?
    Solar on Connecticut Schools Why not on yours? The purpose of this report is to encourage you, as a member of a school board, school administrator, or member of the public, to consider putting solar on (or next to) your school. Schools with solar save money on their electric bills, reduce their greenhouse gas emissions, and provide an onsite educational opportunity for their students. As Connecticut looks to meet its ambitious goals to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, solar energy has played a significant and rapidly growing role. Across the state, schools have shown clear leadership. At last count, over 100 schools have installed sizeable solar arrays on their rooftops, parking lots and land. Yet, these 100 schools represent less than 10% of the schools in the state, so the potential for further installations of clean energy is immense Nayaug Elementary, Glastonbury, CT With their typically substantial flat roofs, large parking lots and high electricity demand, schools are excellent candidates for solar installations. As the cost of solar panels and their installation plummets, schools have been able to reduce their electricity bills, shifting funds to their primary purpose: educating our youth. In fact, school solar arrays invariably work their way into the school curriculum, providing a powerful, tangible educational tool. Other CT Schools as a Resource Our report includes a list of over 100 Connecticut schools with solar arrays larger than 60 kW. In total, these arrays represent a combined installed capacity of over 17 megawatts, capable of producing over 20 million kWh per year. We created the list to help you find schools that have already installed solar.

    Saturday, January 26, 2019 Saturday, January 26, 2019 Dear students and educators, Greetings and welcome to the 51st annual Berklee High School Jazz Festival. We are so pleased that you are here with us to experience a wonderful day highlighting jazz education and music-making by talented artists. Our participants embody the very best of high school instrumental and vocal jazz in large and small ensemble combinations, as well as solo vocalists in our specialized Jazz Singer Showcase category. We are very proud that our event is the largest of its kind in the United States, featuring thousands of student performers representing public and private high schools from across the country. It also represents hundreds of music educators at the top of their craft who empower and influence students with their teaching every single day. None of the students would be here without their teachers and we honor, appreciate, and acknowledge this fact. One of our goals with the festival is to provide enriching opportunities for young artists to experience jazz from multiple angles (i.e., performing, attending clinics and exhibits, and hearing performances by other musicians). In addition, we recognize the power of bringing music teachers together to showcase the talents and efforts of their students, expand their professional networks, and inspire each other. Accordingly, throughout the day, we have scheduled time for all of these activities, and we encourage you to explore and take advantage of the festival’s many facets. This year, we are pleased to announce that Thomas “TL” Lizotte, band director for Cape Elizabeth High School in Maine, will receive the John LaPorta Jazz Educator of the Year Award.
