Anthony “Tony” Nizzardo Memorial Scholarship
In loving memory of our friend and former Rotary member Anthony “Tony” Nizzardo, the Stratford Rotary Club is proud to establish the Anthony “Tony” Nizzardo Memorial Scholarship, an annual scholarship benefiting a graduating student of Stratford High School.
Donations made to the Stratford Rotary Club in Tony’s memory will support the Anthony “Tony” Nizzardo Memorial Scholarship, helping us honor his legacy by investing in the future of Stratford’s young people.
