ELLE'S SCHOLARSHIP MEETS THE 10K MARK - OFFICIALLY NAMED

January 12, 2026

Dear All,


I have amazing news...Over the break, we received a generous donation that has put us at the $10,000 mark which means we can officially name the scholarship for Elle.  Stay tuned for more information but the Elle Zizzi Memorial Scholarship will be able to be awarded the first time this spring.  The faculty, staff, and students have been incredibly moved by the generosity of so many - giving what they can.  It took all of our hearts and will power - and that speaks volumes!  I will be sharing the news with the family shortly and I know this will bring them a ray of joy.  her legacy will live on in our hearts and will provide a little something for a student who needs the scholarship to keep on towards their goal of a degree.  Elle would be so proud that her legacy can make a difference for others.

Next steps include completing the paperwork to name the scholarship, awarding the first ever Elle Zizzi Memorial Scholarship, and begin our journey toward endowing the scholarship which will ensure the funds grow and sustain.

Thank you all! Slán agus beannacht (Goodbye and blessings)!

Dear All,

September was a tough month as we were missing Elle.  It is tough to note that it has been a year.  She is ever in our hearts.  We are so close to meeting the naming goal that we hope we will meet this semester.  We only have about 1800.00 left to go.  Please consider giving any amount you can afford.

Best to you all and thank you for your generosity.
