Created in partnership with the John Jay College of Criminal Justice, the goal of The Alfred Siegel Scholarship is to encourage and support students, including those with previous involvement in the justice system and/or the child welfare system, in reaching their higher education goals. Recipients of the scholarship will share some of the qualities that were at the center of Alfred Siegel's work throughout his lifetime: kindness, personal integrity, and devotion to public service. This scholarship is open to students in good academic standing. Participation in community service is encouraged. Prior connection with the Center for Court Innovation or one of its projects is preferred. Preference will also be given to students who have overcome substantial hardships, such as involvement in the criminal justice or child welfare systems.
