2014 Oct 23

On Oct. 15, Eastern Connecticut State University hosted its annual Scholarship Reception in the Betty R. Tipton Room of the Student Center. The event brought together major ECSU Foundation scholarship donors and their respective student-recipients. This year, more than 325 scholarships were awarded, totaling more than $750,000 in financial aid to students of all backgrounds and academic majors. Both of these totals are Foundation records.

Jennifer Upton-Pepin, a senior from Jewett City whose major is Early Childhood Education and Spanish, earned the Frances Karlyn Zittel Endowed Award.

"This event allows us to see several hundred of our hardest working, most dedicated students in one spot at one time," Eastern President Elsa Nunez. "We also have the pleasure of announcing a significant outpouring of support from generous donors who understand the value of investing in America's next generation of leaders."
