Solly’s Way Foundation
Our mission
Solly’s Way Foundation is a nonprofit organization that brings compassion to tragedy, and turns tragedy into triumph, by providing college scholarships to students who have lost a parent or guardian.
About Solly’s Way
After the loss of a parent, higher education for the surviving children can seem out of reach. Since 2013, Solly’s Way Foundation has helped relieve the financial burden of college for 39 high school seniors that have lost a parent or guardian.
What Our Recipients Are Saying
“Nobody truly understands what comes with losing a parent at such a young age. You have to learn immediate independence, continue to face the obstacles of life, and do your best at school and everything else that comes with being a teenager, all while grieving at the same time.”
— Mary Kaelin Puccio, 2021 Scholarship Recipient
“Solly’s Way Foundation helped my family during a devastating time. I wouldn’t be able to pursue my goals without the help of everyone here.”
— Jake Zyzda, 2016 Scholarship Recipient
“This extraordinary scholarship from the Solly’s Way Foundation will allow me to run cross-country and ultimately pursue a doctorate in occupational therapy. Thank you Solly’s Way for believing in me and helping me honor my dad.”
— Katherine Shein, 2021 Scholarship Recipient
