Carolyn Foley Dutta Memorial Scholarship Fund ‑ 703051

The fund will be used to provide scholarship support to students studying Nutritional Sciences with a preference for in-state students.

The Carolyn Foley Dutta Memorial Scholarship honors the legacy of a loving mother, daughter, spouse, and friend to so very many. Carolyn's life was tragically cut short by a drunk driver on New Years’ Eve 2011.

An outgoing and vivacious University of Michigan graduate, Carolyn delighted in visiting gardens and farm stands, prepared chef-level meals, and rolled out her own flaky crust for every fruit pie. As a working mother to three children, she made a home where food played an essential role, at once nourishing and celebratory.

Your donation in Carolyn’s honor will help provide life-changing educational opportunities to deserving students who value community, family, and hard work just as Carolyn did. By making a contribution to the fund, you can help these students overcome financial obstacles and focus on pursuing a degree and the career of their dreams.
