The Alinsky Scholarship was started by Mitch Kahn, a former Ramapo College professor. Professor Kahn was the long-time director of the undergraduate program in Social Work and taught many classes in the program. The intent of the Alinsky Scholarship is to recognize juniors or seniors who have demonstrated “an effort to organize people around issues of social, economic or environmental justice” and who are “committed to the practice of community organization as a part of his or her future role as professional and citizen.”
