The Schools

The Foundation is a way for Fitzie’s family and friends to honor her by providing girls and young women with an example of a life well-lived and by encouraging them in their own pursuits.

Every year the Foundation selects a student from each of the following four schools to be the recipient of a Fitzie Foundation grant. It is the hope of the Trustees of the Foundation that both the finalists and the recipients will be touched and motivated by Fitzie’s life and by the things for which she lived.
