PUTNAM — Simone Fournier of Putnam has been selected by the Connecticut Funeral Directors Association (CFDA) to receive 2017 college scholarship funds. 

Fournier, a new graduate of Marianapolis Preparatory School in Thompson, will pursue a career in geriatrics at UConn in the fall. CFDA presented $500 to each of eight Connecticut student honorees.

 This is the seventeenth consecutive year that the Connecticut Funeral Directors Association has awarded college scholarship funds to help young people pursue careers in the “helping” professions. 

This includes the fields of caregiving, counseling, social services, psychology, psychiatry, nursing, medicine, social work, gerontology, or funeral service. One student in each of Connecticut’s eight counties was selected to receive $500 in funds for college.
