2008 Scholarships The Steuben Association held two scholarship exams awarded the prizes on June 23rd at our Annual Scholarship Night. The awardees and our donators were honored. The 3 top prizes for the High School exam were awarded to: Steven Buddenhagen, Thomas Seubert and Liam Lynch. The College Prizes were awarded to Jeffrey Hanover, Gerard Hugel and Joseph Metzler. Our scholarships are thanks to the generosity of our members making donations, large and small including the Monsee and Bielefeld families. The Grand Council of Steuben Associations, our parent, so to speak, generously donates. The bulk of our donations comes from foundations outside the Department. The Centurions, The New York Law Enforcement Foundation and The Police Reserve assist us throughout the year. The fraternal organizations are indebted to them for their interest, assistance and generosity. The leaders of these organizations that I’ve come to know and wish to thank are Mr. Joe Dippel, Mr. Reggie Ward and Mr. Mitch Levy. Each year we award approximately $6500 in scholarship awards. At our Scholarship Night, we present the winners with their awards and thank our benefactors. It is also our summer Family Night. The families come and we have a reat time at the Varuna Boat Club. It’s beautiful on the water, where we sat this year eating al fresco. The weather was perfect. The Department Units were there for the kids, showing off the Harbor Boat, Highway Unit motorcycle, Bomb Squad dog, the Emergency Services Unit robot and the Mounted Unit gave rides on the horse. It was excellent.
Our scholarship chairman is James Roscher. Please contact him with any questions. Info@Nypdsteuben.org
