TommyCar Auto Group Announces 2015 Scholarship Winners

HADLEY — Organizers of the Tom Cosenzi Scholarship announced three students who each received a $1,000 scholarship for demonstrating excellence in the classroom and in the community.

The Tom Cosenzi Scholarship was established to honor the memory of Thomas E. Cosenzi. When he passed away in 2009, it was not only ownership of the TommyCar Auto Group that passed to his children, Carla and Thomas M. Cosenzi, but his legacy of giving back to the community.

“The combination of academic achievement and community leadership exhibited by these students underscores the core values of this scholarship,” said Carla Cosenzi.

This year’s scholarship winners include Cienna Harris, a graduate of Hopkins Academy who will be attending Salve Regina University; Justyna Sudyka, a graduate of Shepard Hill Regional High School who will attend the University of Connecticut; and Francois Venne, a graduate of Northampton High School who will attend the College of the Holy Cross.
