Third: Spirit of New York Scholarships
On January 17, 2002, Robert Friedman, a partner in Sage Capital Management, announced the creation of $2,500 scholarships for College Now students bound for the City University of New York. They will be known as the “Myself Third: Spirit of New York Scholarships,” a reference to a lesson he learned in the sixth grade: to put oneself third after responsibilities to God and to country. The scholarships, a tribute to the September 11 rescue workers, will be available to students who participate in College Now, a CUNY program that helps prepare high school students for college. Applicants will be required to submit an essay describing a personal experience that demonstrates appreciation of civic responsibility. |
