Help us meet our goal of raising $250,000 for scholarships this fiscal year!
As Eastern students work diligently to make their dreams a reality, we urge our alumni to make a gift to one of the following scholarships.
David A. and Martha R. Yutzey Endowed Music Fund
Dr. David Yutzey, a retired psychology professor from the University of Connecticut, generously established the David A. and Martha R. Yutzey Endowed Music Fund in 2011 as a tribute to his friend and musical colleague Professor Robert Lemons. Dr. Yutzey has played tuba in the Community Band led by Bob Lemons for more than three decades. In 2014, at the time of Prof. Lemons retirement, the fund was renamed to include David’s wife, Martha R. A portion of the fund’s assets will be used each year to provide a scholarship for an academically qualified music major with unmet financial need.
Kevin Crosbie Memorial Endowed Scholarship Supported by the Lester & Phyllis Foster Foundation & Jeffrey Ossen Family Foundation
The Kevin Crosbie Memorial Endowed Scholarship was established in 2015 with initial five-figure gifts from the Lester & Phyllis Foster Foundation and the Jeffrey P. Ossen Family Foundation. Kevin was the longtime publisher of the Willimantic Chronicle who was a fixture in the local community. The four-year scholarships are awarded to students graduating from Windham High School who have financial need. Preference is given to students who have indicated their intention to major or minor in music while at Eastern.
