The Frank Zirille BBBS Scholarship program is dedicated to honoring the legacy of Frank Zirille, the founding Executive Director of Big Brothers Big Sisters of Northeast Indiana.
Initially founded and funded in 2024, the new scholarship program’s mission is to support graduating "Littles" from the BBBS program in pursuing post-secondary education by providing financial assistance and mentorship. The program’s mission is to ensure our youth have equal access to opportunities in education and are given the support they need as they take those first steps of their professional life.
