AFT Scholarships

In 2002 the American Federation of Teachers Union (AFT Local 2274) at Ramapo College joined with the President’s Office to create an endowed scholarship fund.  When it was created, then President Smith wrote of the “constructive, harmonious and very productive relationship that exists between the Union and the College.”

The AFT Endowed Scholarship Fund has two programs: a Graduate School Scholarship and the Hank Frundt Memorial Scholarship. The Graduate School Scholarship provides an award to a graduating senior who intends to pursue graduate studies, particularly to students seeking careers in teaching or other academic areas.  The intent is to provide recognition for outstanding academic achievement and to encourage post-graduate scholarship.

The Hank Frundt Memorial Scholarship is for sophomores or juniors who are interested in labor studies, social justice, or Latin American economic/social development.  In 2011 the undergraduate award was named in memory of Dr. Frundt, who taught at Ramapo for 37 years in the areas of corporate studies and Latin American social and economic development.  Dr. Frundt served as president of the teachers’ union, as a delegate to the Council of New Jersey State College Locals and as a liaison to U.S. Labor Against the War.

 

Warren, Stephen D. Memorial Scholarship

Stephen Warren joined the Ramapo College community in 2006 as Comptroller for the Ramapo College Foundation. He brought many years of experience in higher education to the Foundation, and became an asset to the Foundation Board of Governors and administration with his impressive depth of knowledge. “Business was what he did every day and it was his life,” says Donna Warren, Steve’s wife of 23 years. “But his interest, one of his loves, was history. The other was astronomy, which he had little time to pursue.” To honor Steve’s memory, his commitment to Ramapo College, and his interests, the Stephen D. Warren Memorial Scholarship will be used to benefit students majoring in History and students with an interest in astronomy.
