FOSDICK - SAN ANTONIO MEMORIAL SCHOLARSHIP AWARD APPLICATION |
In late January 1992, Meegan Fosdick and Shannon San Antonio from the Silver Bay Association, YMCA Conference and Training Center tragically lost their lives in a car accident.
These active participants in the New York State YMCA Youth & Government Program demonstrated qualities that all young people should emulate: they were involved in other community activities/organizations, other school and/or YMCA activities, coupled with a demonstrated passion of serving others.
In memory of their spirit and enthusiasm, The New York State YMCA has established a memorial scholarship fund. Proceeds from the fund will be used to award annual scholarships to the YMCA Youth & Government Albany Conference defraying a teens State Program fee expense.
District Coordinators and Advisors are asked to nominate teens from their district for this award. Teens must currently be Juniors in High school. Final selection will be made in consultation with the State Director and the award committee based on applicants meeting the award criteria that is not restricted to financial need. Announcement of the award winners will be made at the closing banquet of the annual March Conference in Albany.
Contributions will be solicited at the Albany conference. However, additional contributions will be accepted at anytime during the year. Donations can be made out to the “YMCA NYS” sent to the attention of Drew Caldwell, State Director, 465 New Karner Road, Albany, NY 12205.
