As a recipient of an award or scholarship winner’s have become apart of the select few who have demonstrated outstanding dedication to their careers, academics, and communities. We hope to hear about all of their accomplishments, goals and, how their award or scholarship has made a difference in their career and life.

The Alumni Winner’s Club is a group in which our winner’s can share, grow, and connect with fellow scholars and award winners. We would like to help our recipients stay connected and build upon their success.

Amy Barrett seen here with former Mayor Ed Koch as she is presented with her scholarship award at the annual ceremony.

“Having been presented with my scholarship by Mayor Koch himself, I’ve always had a special affinity for him as he was the first public figure that I’d ever personally met.His friendliness and the ease with which he spoke coupled with professionalism and intelligence was something that struck me that day at City Hall many years ago.  He was the epitome of a New Yorker and will be sorely missed. As an Attorney, my career has been primarily based in Civil Litigation.  I’m presently with a firm where I’m afforded the opportunity to combine a sense of compassion with tough advocacy skills through my work in the areas of Matrimonial/Family Law and Trusts & Estates.”

Here are a few words from our 2012 scholarship winners..

“As graduation approaches, I grow more and more excited about my future.  I am currently a finalist for a Fulbright English Teaching Assistantship to Spain and I was also accepted into the 2013 Teach for America Boston Corps.  Whether September finds me in Madrid or Boston, I know I will be waking up every morning to a life that is meaningful beyond anything I ever imagined.  I am so happy and fortunate to be the recipient of a College Scholar Award because it has provided me with the financial support to pursue whichever direction my life takes next … and I can’t wait to find out!”

“On the surface, my scholarships have allowed me to pay for the necessities of college, such as textbooks and lab fees, and have also allowed me to shoulder some of my tuition bill for my parents. But on a deeper level, I would say that they’ve been helping me grow as person by allowing me to take more financial responsibility for my own learning than I could have had I not won them. To me, that personal growth is the greatest thing my scholarships have allowed me to accomplish. And by having less to worry about when it comes to the cost of my college education, I’ve been able to focus my attention on my studies, my personal passions, and opportunities for volunteer work.”

“The scholarship that I have received from the Hundred Year association has afforded me the opportunity to pay off some of my student loans. This is a huge deal because, as most, I am not looking forward to leaving college in debt. It has helped me get one step closer to receiving a dual undergraduate degree in possibly economics and international relations in the hopes of going on to graduate school to receive my masters. I am very grateful for my award.”
