The Tudor Foundation has awarded a $475K grant to CSI’s Accelerated Study in Associate Programs (ASAP) to support 75 ASAP scholars over three years. The award is to be named after Louise Zarrilli, a beloved colleague who recently passed away. Ms. Zarrilli’s family has deep historical ties to CSI, as she was raised on Staten Island and her mother worked at CSI. This is a very special gift, as the Tudor Foundation noted that this will be an exciting opportunity to build from this initial gift.
ASAP students at CSI are assisted in earning both their Associate and Baccalaureate degrees in four years with financial, academic, and personal support.
