Scholarships
The Thomas W. Zito, Sr., Scholarship at St. Peter's Preparatory School
Since its founding in the mid-1990s, The Thomas W. Zito, Sr., Scholarship at St. Peter's Preparatory School in Jersey City, NJ, has enabled some
two dozen talented young men to benefit from the school's highly regarded Jesuit education. Named for the father of Prep alumnus and former
trustee Robert Zito, '71, this endowed fund has grown steadily over the past decade, and as of March 1, 2012, it stands at $677,580.
The Zito Scholarship is part of the school's broader endowment, which is permanently restricted and is providing $2.1 million in total financial
assistance during this academic year. The Zito Scholarship itself currently generates almost $34,000 annually in direct scholarship assistance,
and each year eight Prep students are its beneficiaries.
As with virtually all of Prep's restricted scholarship funds, the recipients are young men who have met the school's rigorous admissions
requirements but whose financial circumstances would not enable them to enroll without "need-based" support from funds such as the Zito
Scholarship. This scholarship, which Cento Amici is proud to support, is awarded to students from Bayonne, NJ, where the scholarship’s
namesake worked tirelessly in support of the community as Executive Director of the Bayonne Housing Authority.
