The Enrico Fermi Educational Fund of Yonkers, NY is a non-profit organization that was founded over 56 years ago. It began as a vision of several individuals, led by Mr. Michael Vitulli, to generate financial support for Italian-American students who reside in Yonkers to further their education. Today, we are pleased to offer additional financial support to several students throughout Westchester County. Each year $40,000 in scholarships are given to students who demonstrate outstanding commitment to academics and their communities. To date, the organization has provided scholarships totaling well over $1,000,000.
