Starr, Dorothy and Harvey Scholarship

At the time Dorothy and Harvey Starr were ready to go to college, they were able to attend public institutions of higher education in New York for virtually no cost. Both were able to earn undergraduate degrees, and earn graduate degrees as well. Recognizing the value of higher education, Mr. and Mrs. Starr wanted to extend this opportunity to Ramapo College students by creating an annual scholarship.  This scholarship is $10,000.
