Art '64 and Karen Massolo with a group of LINK students.
"Establishing a scholarship to support disadvantaged students and augmenting it through a charitable remainder unitrust have been among the best investments we have ever made. The scholarship enables recipients to attend a first-class liberal arts college they never may have dreamed possible and enhances the lives of the entire Hamilton community by increasing diversity. The trust has been financially sound; as the endowment grows, so do our payments and the ultimate addition to the scholarship."
Art '64 and Karen Massolo, parents of Arthur '93, have long been associated with LINK Unlimited, a program that "adopts" promising youths in Chicago and provides them with educational assistance in preparation for college and beyond. They endowed the Arturo Domenico Massolo Memorial Scholarship at Hamilton — which benefits LINK students — in memory of Art's grandfather. Their two-life unitrust that is invested with Hamilton's endowment makes payments to them now; at the conclusion of the trust term, the principal will be added to the scholarship, supporting even more students in the future.
Please advise the College if you have included Hamilton in your estate plan or completed a planned gift so you can be honored and recognized as a Joel Bristol Associate.
