Hackett Cape May County Scholarship

To escape from their busy lives, Fran Hackett ’80 and her husband, Dave, spent time at their home in Diamond Beach, NJ. They made friends there and became active in the community. Mr. Hackett volunteers at the Naval Air Station Museum in nearby Wildwood, NJ and often shows his classic car at local car shows. Ms. Hackett was involved in the condominium association prior to her death in June 2015. “We love the community and its residents,” she said, “We have gotten to know many local people and when we go into restaurants and stores, people know us by our first names.
“What other way to say thank you to an area where we have felt at home, been welcomed and had such enjoyment than to provide a scholarship opportunity to Ramapo College students from Cape May County,” she added.

This is the seventh endowed scholarship established by Fran Hackett ’80 to benefit the students of Ramapo College.
