Cynthia A. Carano Memorial Scholarship

This scholarship was established in memory of Cynthia Carano of Waterford, a graduate of Norwich Free Academy who passed away suddenly at the age of 45. Cynthia was an elementary school teacher in Sterling, and then Preston, for over 23 years. She was a mentor for student teachers during their training at Preston Veteran’s Memorial School, as well as a consultant to the CT Department of Education. This scholarship is for graduates of Preston Plains Middle School and any Preston-designated public high school who demonstrate understanding of the importance of mentoring.
