About this scholarship
The Elena Eckert Memorial Scholarship was established in loving memory of Elena Eckert, a New York State Corrections officer who served for roughly three decades. Her son Billy created the scholarship to honor two of his mother's strongest beliefs: helping high school seniors in the local community achieve their dreams of higher education; and, giving back to family members of those that selflessly protect and serve in police, corrections and the armed forces. The scholarship is available to Dutchess, Orange, Putnam and Ulster County high school seniors who are the children or grandchildren of current or former armed forces members, police officers or corrections officers. Applicants must provide the name, department and rank or capacity of the eligible person. Applicants must have a B minus or above grade point average. Applicants must submit 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. 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.
