The school created the Sandy Hook School Memorial Fund that will offer aid for current students of the elementary school, siblings of those killed and any dependants of the teachers or adults who lost their lives in the shooting Friday morning in Newtown.
Women's basketball coach Geno Auriemma and wife Kathy contributed the first donation, offering $80,000. Scholarship money for surviving students will be available upon their acceptance to UConn, while funds for siblings and dependents are available immediately, depending on need.
"Over this past difficult weekend, Kathy and I gave much consideration to what we as a family could do that would have some significance for the future," Auriemma said. "Because UConn is so important to us, we decided to establish a scholarship and encourage other UConn alumni and fans around the world to invest in the future of the Sandy Hook survivors."
