Senior Scholarship Information
The Sapienza Scholarship Fund was established in 2006 through a bequest to the Foundation from the Estate of Anne and Anthony Sapienza. The fund supports individual scholarship awards to benefit students who reside in New Canaan and need financial assistance to continue their education.
Eligibility requirements are as follows:
- New Canaan residency
- Demonstrated need for financial assistance
- GPA of 2.5 or higher (Not applicable to HS seniors)
