The dream of a university has become easier to obtain through the Zonta Club of New Providence’s annual move to increase its scholarship fund by $5,000. “So it was a natural step for us at the Zonta Club of New Providence to recognize that we had to do more in such a tight economy. And we have such a wonderful group of outstanding, determined women who want to give back to society that it was a unanimous decision for us all to come together and increase the education fund.” The grant fund is allocated by COB every year to a mature female student — at least 25 years old — who has earned an associate degree and wants to pursue a bachelor’s degree. The new endowment was established in honor of entrepreneur, philanthropist and humanitarian Betty Kelly Kenning at COB to continually fund the higher education pursuits of mature female students.
