Dave W. Manzo Scholarship
A college scholarship for former students and clients
COMPASS offers a $500 per year scholarship to any of our former students or clients who attend college. We will make an annual check payable to the college or university that the former COMPASS student or client attends for as long as he/she is enrolled. The scholarship can be used for tuition, books or lodging; under special circumstances, scholarship funds can be used for transportation expenses.
At the COMPASS 25th Anniversary Dinner, the Board of Directors named the scholarship fund after former Executive Director, David W. Manzo. David began working at COMPASS in 1980 and was the Executive Director from 1984 through 2004.
