The Frances Karlyn Zittel Endowed Award was established in 1999 through a bequest from the estate of the late Captain Karl O. A. Zittel, USCG-Retired. The bequest established an endowment in memory of the captain’s daughter, Frances Karlyn Zittel, who predeceased him. Proceeds of the endowment will be used to support scholarship assistance for students pursuing a degree in the field of education, as well as for other programs that foster success for current Eastern students.

Students are encouraged to file the FAFSA by March 1
