Thanks to the generosity of Cento Amici<\/a> (100 Friends), a member organization dedicated to providing financial assistance to students in New Jersey, 10 College of the Arts’ students were awarded scholarships, five of whom were hosted at Cento Amici’s Spring Dinner on April 7. <\/p>\n

Cento Amici executives Robert Zito and Joseph Canderozzi welcomed the organization’s members and their guests, as well as the student scholarship recipients from five academic institutions including Montclair State University’s College of the Arts. Special guests, Basketball Hall of Fame Coach Bob Hurley, and Chairman and CEO of Centurion Holdings Joe Grano, delivered inspiring messages to the students, encouraging them to work hard, plan to succeed in life and aim to extend a helping hand to others along the way.  Students were also given autographed copies of each speaker’s recently published books.

\u201cThis event is always a highlight of the year for our members,\u201d said Robert Zito, the founding president of Cento Amici. \u201cThe opportunity to meet the students, who are selected by their schools to receive our scholarships, is a great reminder of why we work to support funding these scholarships.  They are truly tomorrow\u2019s leaders.\u201d<\/p>\n
