Our nonprofit was privileged to award scholarships to a dozen inspirational high school students in Marisa’s loving memory this year.
Please take a moment to click on the hot links below to read the stories about each of these incredible young men and women, all of who overcame adversity or fulfilled our nonprofit’s mission by helping children in need throughout the greater Middlesex County area.
Each scholarship recipient epitomized Marisa’s caring spirit, excelled academically, performed extensive community service and was heavily involved in extracurricular activities.
Our nonprofit awarded one Marisa Tufaro Memorial Community Service Scholarship, eight Marisa Tufaro Foundation Greater Middlesex Conference Scholarships and one Marisa Tufaro Memorial Edison High School Scholarship.
In addition, through the benevolence of Woodbridge High School, we were privileged to award two Woodbridge High School Marisa Tufaro Memorial Scholarships.
We look forward to awarding more scholarships next year.
Please encourage eligible high school seniors to apply.
