“State Scholars creates a win-win situation. Students will graduate from high school with the tools and knowledge they need to be winners in life – able to have higher-paying jobs and more satisfying careers – and Connecticut companies will win when we have leaders like them join our teams and help us grow our businesses.” Shelly Saczynski, Director, Economic and Community Development, The United Illuminating Company, New Haven, CT
