Mr. and Mrs. Stephen G. Dormer established this scholarship in memory of their son, Stephen, who passed away in April 2013. Family and friends wanted to remember Stephen and honor his memory with the creation of this endowed scholarship in his name.

Stephen John Dormer was a Business Administration major in the Anisfield School of Business.  He transferred to Ramapo College after attending Rockland Community College.  Stephen was a model student, academically strong and focused in the classroom.

Stephen played team sports throughout his life but especially cherished the camaraderie that grew from the experience of being with others as part of a team. He also enjoyed camping, mountain biking, dirt bike and motorcycle riding and was a certified scuba diver, Most importantly, he was kind and a champion of those who were marginalized, excluded or who experienced discrimination of any kind.

The Stephen J. Dormer Memorial Scholarship will leave a legacy for him in an environment where he was flourishing. The scholarship will also provide an inspiration and an opportunity for a transfer student to achieve their goal of an undergraduate degree.
