Call for Scholarship Applicants

New Britain, Conn., May 18, 2021 – The Community Foundation of Greater New Britain is putting out a call for applications for the Suzanne Beckius Scholarship.

The Suzanne Beckius Scholarship Fund was established to remember Sue Beckius, a life-long supporter of community and youth theater and a founding member of the Plainville Choral Society. She worked for years with the Southington Youth Summer Theater Program and was an invaluable part of the team. Her energy, positive attitude, and unselfish contributions provided unconditional support for participants. Sue could always be counted on to go above and beyond the call of duty.

Applicants will be past participants in the Southington Youth Summer Theater and/or Plainville Youth Theater who demonstrate Sue’s energy, positive attitude and unconditional support for these Youth Theater programs. Applications are due Saturday, June 5.
