Established by the family of Melissa Bisaccia to honor her memory, the Melissa D. Bisaccia Memorial Scholarship is available to seniors graduating from Roy C. Ketcham High School. This scholarship was created to help students who have faced and overcome obstacles and challenges that could have prevented them from achieving their goal of pursuing a college education. Applicants must demonstrate perseverance in overcoming obstacles of significance and participation in extracurricular. Two current letters of recommendation from teachers or guidance counselors, clergy or persons other than family members who are familiar with the applicant's skills and abilities 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.
