How the Sapienza Scholarship is Changing Lives

The Sapienza Scholarship is a need-based award for New Canaan residents of any age, offering up to $10,000 per year toward tuition. Unlike many other scholarships, it can be used for all four years of college.

This year, NCCF proudly awarded $195,000 in Sapienza Scholarships to deserving students. Each award represents more than just financial aid, it reflects the community’s commitment to investing in education and opening doors to opportunity.

One student shared their gratitude:

“Thank you and the NCCF Board of Directors for the generous Sapienza Scholarship. This grant will help me alleviate the financial burden of my college education as I pursue a degree in Washington, D.C. I hope to continue my volunteer work as I am interested in exploring a career in Public Service.”

These scholarships are made possible through the generosity of donors who believe in supporting New Canaan residents as they pursue their dreams.
