Awarded Scholarships

2017

Alumni Association Scholarship

When they think of giving back, many Ramapo students — past and present — think of their alma mater.  Each year the Alumni Association provides a scholarship for one freshman in each of the College’s five schools: the Anisfield School of Business, the School of Humanities and Global Studies, the School of Contemporary Arts, the School of Social Sciences and Human Services and the School of Theoretical and Applied Science.  In order to make these awards permanent, the Alumni Association Board of Directors endowed the Alumni Scholarships in the late 1990s.  Created with gifts from hundreds of former Ramapo students and the success of alumni fundraisers, the endowment continues to grow, thanks to the dedication and support of alumni led by Board President Carolyn Merkel ’78, Ph.D.
