The Jean DeGrace Crandall Memorial Scholarship was set up as a memorial to Jean DeGrace Crandall, educator and friend to the migrant community. The scholarship will be awarded for post-secondary assistance to a migrant farmworker or child of a migrant farmworker (with a preference for those from Mexico) with a history of migration to Dutchess, Orange, Putnam, Rockland, Sullivan, Ulster, or Westchester Counties in New York State. Though not required, but because of Jean's personal interests, students with a demonstrated interest in traditional Mexican art and culture are especially encouraged to apply. Applicants must submit one current letter of recommendation from teachers or guidance counselors, clergy or persons other than family members who are familiar with the applicant's skills and abilities. The letter must have been written within the last six months. Applicants must also attach a copy of a 'Certificate of Eligibility' (COE) showing qualifications as a migrant student during the past three calendar years or any time during high school. Please visit the scholarship's website or contact the Community Foundations of the Hudson Valley for more information.
