Congratulations to our 2010 Recipients

We held our annual scholarship ceremony at the Connecticut State Capitol on Friday, May 21. We were able to award 20 scholarships this year to very deserving students. We wish them the best as they move on to college and their careers. Governor Jodi Rell attended as well as others from state agencies, the Connecticut State University System and the Community Colleges.

Photos from the event are on our website and the photographer will print them for any of the students and their families. If you attended and would like a print of your photo(s), contact Roger Maynard at 860-742-9461 or email

Jack Matthews, director of human services for Goodwin College and GCYD board member, gave very inspiring remarks at the 2010 ceremony. His speech is now available on our website if you’d like to read or re-read it.

Information for applying for the 2011 scholarships will be available for high school seniors in November. Check back here or on our website in the fall for more information.
