The Sean Duzant Memorial Scholarship Fund

We want to keep our son's memory alive --and to help other students," says Michael Duzant, explaining why he and his wife, Cheryl, established the Sean Duzant Memorial Scholarship.  They established it through the Community Foundation of Southeastern Connecticut, he adds, because they know the Foundation's good work in their community.  They also know they can stay involved, by such means as helping to select scholarship recipients who show spirit and drive, in academics and sports.

Sean was full of spirit and drive.  He was a star athlete at New London High School and at Central Connecticut State University, where he majored in biology.  He was working as a lab technician for NUCON at Pfizer when a tragic accident cut his life so short.

He was 27, with plans. An enthusiastic fisherman since his dad first handed him a little fishing pole, he'd bought a boat and obtained his Captain's license, to start his own fishing charter business.

His family (the most important people in his life), friends, and teammates share memories of a fine young man who loved life--and who always helped others, especially his fishing buddies, succeed.

For years and years to come, the scholarship in his name will keep Sean’s nature alive and help other young people succeed.
