Honoring and Celebrating our Scholars

Over 120 scholarship recipients were honored at the 15th annual Youth Scholarship Awards Ceremony on Wednesday, June 7. The rising and current college students, along with their proud families, gathered at 301 Henry Street to celebrate their impressive academic achievements.

Scholarships were awarded from the Abrons/Aranow Scholarship Fund, the Tannenbaum Scholarship Fund and the Sobie Scholarship Fund.

The Settlement’s Expanded Horizons College Success Program works with 9th through 12th grade students to get them into college, and with college students to ensure graduation in four years. Students from all levels of the program’s eight-year model spoke about their experiences.
