MHB Series: Marguerite Hare Browne Scholar Award

he Marguerite Hare Browne Scholar Award was established in recognition and celebration of the Marguerite Hare Browne Scholar who has successfully completed and received the full sequence of scholarships in the Marguerite Hare Browne Professional Education Awards & Scholarship Program including the MHB High School Senior Scholarship, the MHB Fred Dean Scholarship, The MHB Rose R. Rock Scholarship and the MHB Marguerite Hare Browne Scholarship, and has completed the undergraduate teacher certification program at The College at Brockport. It is given only at the discretion of the Marguerite Hare Browne Selection Committee.

This special award is named for Marguerite “Peg” Hare Browne ’44, Associate Professor Emeritus, Education (1949-1985). Upon her retirement, Peg served as the Brockport Foundation Director of Special Projects and Emeriti Affairs until 1992. In 1983, her colleagues in the Greece Central School District and The College at Brockport recognized her for her leadership role in development of the SUNY Brockport/Greece Teaching Center, a collaborative program serving both communities of scholars. In her honor, a committee of her colleagues led by Principal Fred Dean initiated the MHBPEA&S program. This program continues to honor and assist high school and college students, teachers, administrators, and community members.

This award is given at the discretion of the MHB Selection Committee for the MHB Scholar who has received all four scholarships in the sequence and does not accept applications.

The financial assistance is in the form of a check if the recipient is a graduate of SUNY Brockport before the fall semester of the award period. If the recipient is not a graduate by the start of the fall semester of the award period, the financial assistance will be credited to the recipient’s bill during the semester(s) of the award period and the student must use this award for educational expenses at the College.
