Russo's on the Bay, Queens
CSA recently awarded scholarships to five promising NYC high school seniors – one from each borough – as a result of a competitive process that attracted more than 200 applicants. The $1,500 individual awards were given to students who showed leadership, community service and the ability to overcome some of life’s hurdles.
CSA President Ernest Logan praised each of the winners as he presented them with a certificate and a check during a presentation on June 15 at Russo’s on the Bay, Queens. Relatives and the students’ Principals were invited to attend the dinner as guests of CSA.
The winners, in alphabetical order, are:
• Dejanique Howard, who is graduating from Louis D. Brandeis High School and will attend Northwest Missouri University this fall.
• Kelly Garay, who is graduating from Susan E. Wagner High School, and will attend Dowling College.
• Jennifer Rivers, who is graduating from the Fordham Leadership Academy for Business and Technology, and will attend John Jay College/CUNY.
• Catherine Sbeglia, who graduates from Bard High School Early College II, and will attend SUNY-Binghamton this fall.
• Joseph Valerio, who will graduate from Fort Hamilton High School and plans to attend the Macauley Honors Program at Brooklyn College.
CSA officers and staff wish these students the very best in life and a fabulous first year in college.
