CHESHIRE, CT The old adage rings true in the Della Porta household: Like mother, like daughter.
Eighth-grade student Sofia Della Porta will be walking the same footpaths that her mother, Dr. Gina Della Porta 97, once did, having been named the recipient of the 2021 Cheshire Academy Town Scholarship. Similarly, Gina Della Porta was the 1993 Cheshire Town Scholar.

Originating in 1938, the Town Scholarship annually awards one eighth–grade student from Cheshire, Connecticut, a four-year, full-paid scholarship to Cheshire Academy. The recipient must have demonstrated scholarship, citizenship, and leadership during their middle school years and, throughout the application process expressed a sincere interest in and an ability to contribute positively to both CA and the greater Cheshire community.
