In partnership with Cathy’s family, Kent State University is establishing the Cathy Zingrone Memorial Scholarship. This scholarship will support CCI students in times of crisis – when they have an unexpected, urgent need that could derail their progress to graduation.

As you all know, Cathy spent her time at Kent State helping students find their way and she understood that every gesture of support mattered, especially during times of unexpected difficulty. This memorial scholarship will offer CCI students critical support and a pathway forward when it is needed the most. It embodies Cathy’s resilience, positivity and kindness.
