Pizzagalli Scholarship Fund

The Pizzagalli Scholarship Fund is an endowed fund created through the generosity of the Pizzagalli Foundation.  Established in 2025, the Pizzagalli Scholarship Fund provides financial aid to children whose families require support to make camp programs financially accessible. Funds support partial or full tuition awards based on fund availability and financial need.

Robert Merriam Scholarship Fund

The Robert Fairbanks Merriam Scholarship Fund supports children attending camps at the Fairbanks Museum & Planetarium by making science and nature-based enrichment programs available to more people through partial or full tuition awards. This scholarship fund helps overcome financial obstacles so more children and families benefit from programs designed to spark curiosity and a passion for learning.
