Phase 2: Presidential Scholarship Honoring Dr. Linda Fedrizzi-Williams

Building on the momentum of our initial fundraising campaign, the Central Penn College Education Foundation is proud to launch Phase 2 of the Presidential Scholarship campaign, honoring Dr. Linda Fedrizzi-Williams and her decade of exceptional leadership and transformative impact at Central Penn College.

This next phase focuses on expanding opportunities for students by providing greater access to career-ready education, helping them gain the knowledge, skills, and real-world experience needed to succeed in today's workforce.

As the College’s 10th president, Dr. Fedrizzi-Williams has earned national recognition as one of the “Top Leaders in the U.S. Changing Career Education” by Career Education Review magazine. Throughout her tenure, she has demonstrated visionary leadership, strategic innovation, and an unwavering commitment to student success.

During a period of significant challenges and change within higher education, Dr. Fedrizzi-Williams has guided Central Penn College with foresight and determination, aligning academic programs with evolving workforce demands and emerging career opportunities. Her collaborative approach has fostered strong partnerships across the fields of economic development, government, healthcare, banking, tourism, nonprofit leadership, and business, strengthening the College’s role as a vital community and workforce development partner.

Among her many accomplishments, Dr. Fedrizzi-Williams is especially admired for the authentic relationships she builds with students. Her dedication extends beyond the classroom, as she continues to mentor, encourage, and support graduates long after they have earned their degrees.

Under her leadership, Central Penn College has strengthened its reputation as an institution where career-ready learning leads to career-ready living. Through hands-on education, practical experience, and academic programs designed around workforce needs, the College continues to prepare students not just to earn a degree, but to build meaningful careers and successful futures.

The Presidential Scholarship carries that vision forward by helping remove financial barriers for students who are ready to take the next step in their education. By supporting students with financial need, the scholarship creates opportunities for individuals to pursue career-focused degrees, develop valuable skills, and prepare for lasting professional success.

Phase 2 of this campaign is about building on Dr. Fedrizzi-Williams' legacy and investing in the students who will shape our future. Every contribution helps make a Central Penn College education more accessible and brings another student closer to achieving their educational and career goals.

Your gift to the Presidential Scholarship honors a decade of remarkable leadership while supporting the next generation of Central Penn College graduates. Together, we can continue creating opportunities, changing lives, and making career-ready education a reality for more students.
