Dawn Lafferty Hochsprung
Scholarship Application

The Connecticut Federation of School Administrators' Dawn Lafferty Hochsprung Education Scholarship Program, sponsored by M&M Group Benefits, began in 2014 and is open to dependents of all CFSA members in good standing.  Dawn was the Principal who was killed while trying to protect her Sandy Hook Elementary School family on December 14, 2012.  As a lifelong student, Dawn strove for excellence and encouraged those around her to do the same.  Dawn dedicated her life to teaching, instilling a love of learning in all who knew her, and caring for her family.  Dawn is best summed up in the Sandy Hook Elementary School motto: "Think you can/Work Hard/Get Smart/Be Kind/Have Fun."


TWO $2,500 scholarships to help cover educational costs will be awarded to students in their senior year of high school or first or second year of a higher learning institution (college, university, technical school) whose vision is to honor Dawn's legacy of empowering youth with insight, knowledge and passion.  The Scholarship Program requires that the student is committed to attending school, defining personal goals, and embracing the value of higher education.
