Through the thoughtfulness and generosity of George A. Quill and his wife Catherine V. Quill, the George A. and Catherine V. Quill Scholarship has been established for the benefit of the residents of eligible New York counties. This scholarship is not necessarily intended for those students with the highest grade point average but rather intended for those students who must apply themselves to prosper or those who are able to demonstrate financial need. Applicants must be graduating seniors from Beacon High School, John Jay High School, Roy C. Ketcham High School, Poughkeepsie High School, or Newburgh Free Academy. Applicants must also demonstrate involvement in extracurricular activities sports and/or employment. Three current letters of recommendation from a teacher, a clergy member and an employer or supervisor where the applicant does a significant amount of volunteer work are required. These letters must have been written within the last six months. Please visit the scholarship's website or contact the Community Foundations of the Hudson Valley for more information.
