Frances Karlyn Zittel Endowed Award

The Frances Karlyn Zittel Endowed Award is an annual scholarship program designed to support students at Eastern Connecticut State University. Established in memory of the daughter of a retired Coast Guard captain, the program is funded through a permanent endowment. It provides financial assistance specifically to students who are pursuing an academic degree within the field of education. In addition to supporting individual student scholarships, the endowment proceeds may also be used to fund other university programs that foster general academic success for currently enrolled students. Applicants are encouraged to submit their federal student aid application early to be considered for this funding opportunity.
