Rich '68 & Donna '69 Kopenski Scholarship

This scholarship was established by alumni, Rich ’68 and Donna Kopenski ’69, to recognize a future K-12 educator during their undergraduate career at SUNY Brockport.

Eligible students must:

• Be admitted to SUNY Brockport as in incoming first-time student or be a continuing student who seeking or enrolled in an academic program leading to initial certification to become a future educator in K-12 at the undergraduate level.
• Demonstrate a need for financial assistance as judged by the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) minus any other awarded scholarships or grants, and as judged by the selection committee.

Eligible incoming students are considered for this opportunity based on their undergraduate admission application. As funds become available, the Department of Education & Human Development will provide one or more awards.

The financial assistance is in the form of a non-tuition educational expense grant that may be used to cover educational costs such as room, board or college fees. The award will be credited to the recipient’s bill during the semester(s) of the award period. The student must use this award for educational expenses at the College and may not receive the award in cash.
