New Jersey special education teacher leaves $1m to her students after death

Genevieve Via Cava taught special needs students in the Dumont school district for nearly 45 years, according to local news reports. When she died in 2011, with no immediate family to speak of, she left the small fortune she had amassed to her students. The donation will now go towards one $25,000 scholarship per year, to fund the post-secondary education of a special needs student.
