SCHOLARSHIP FUNDS
Helping young people afford a college
education is a goal that many donors share.
Donors determine the criteria for selecting
students for scholarships they establish to help
cover the costs of higher education.
Donors may support education for deserving
young people or enterprising adults with a gift of
$20,000 or more to establish a named scholarship
fund at the Community Foundation.
Suzanne Beckius Scholarship Fund
(2002)
The Suzanne Beckius Scholarship Fund was
established in memory of Sue Beckius, whose love
of theater, music and young people led her to help
found the Plainville Choral Society and devote long
hours to the Southington Youth Summer Theater.
The scholarship is for graduating high school
seniors and students already attending an
accredited university or college full time, who have
participated in Southington Youth Summer Theater
and/or Plainville Choral Society Youth Summer
Theater and are pursuing college studies.
Eleanor and Nathan Berry
Scholarship Fund (2001)
The Eleanor and Nathan Berry Scholarship Fund
was a bequest to the Foundation from the Berrys to
establish a college scholarship for local children.
The couple loved children though they never had
any of their own. They had an appreciation for
competent, resourceful young people who didn’t
expect things to be handed to them. This scholarship
is for graduating high school seniors who are
residents of Berlin, Farmington, New Britain,
Newington, Plainville and Southington pursuing
four-year college degrees in medicine or finance.
