Loyal and dedicated alumni make Norwich Free Academy special. The Academy was founded by generous community members, who built a culture of giving that is sustained by alumni today. Every year on Giving Tuesday, alumni and community members come together to make contributions to the NFA Foundation, making opportunities possible for NFA students and meeting immediate needs as they arise due to the pandemic.

The Sam and Randy Deglin Art & Noise Scholarship, established by the friends and classmates of Samantha and Randy Deglin, supports students whose work reveals artistic ability through the written word, the performance of a dramatic or musical piece, or works of visual art.
