About
The Zenie Foundation, founded in 2004 by George and Betsy Zenie, is a family-run nonprofit dedicated to empowering students through scholarships, personalized mentorship, and leadership development, helping them grow into thoughtful, capable, and socially responsible adults. The community's core mission is to enhance engagement through targeted outreach, diverse networking events, and valuable professional development opportunities. It serves as an essential resource for prospective students exploring educational and career pathways, current students seeking mentorship, and alumni aiming to expand their professional networks. Key programs encompass structured mentorship initiatives, an annual ZF Seminar, and regional in-person networking events, all meticulously designed to facilitate meaningful interactions. The ZF Alumni Community also actively involves its members in shaping the Zenie Foundation's future direction through participation in the Student & Alumni Advisory Group (SAG).
