Richard L. and Richard P. Canuteson Award

This fund was established by Mrs. Richard L. Canuteson and her sons, as an incentive to SUNY Brockport students pursuing a career in elementary education to strive for excellence and high personal standards in their academic, social, and professional environment. This award is in honor of the late Dr. Richard L. Canuteson, Emeritus Professor of Education who served the College from 1948-1969. The award is established to help case the financial pressure so that a student could dedicate their time and direction towards the aforementioned goal.
