The Fitchburg State University Foundation will launch the Antonucci Family Scholarship this year with $300,000 generated through a fundraiser Thursday that celebrated President Robert V. and Jeanne S. Antonucci's 12-year tenure at the institution.
The Antonucci Family Scholarship will be awarded annually to first-generation college students from North Central Massachusetts. The Antonuccis, each of whom hold bachelor's and master's degrees from Fitchburg State, were the first in their families to earn college diplomas.
