About this scholarship
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. Jean was a true community activist and philanthropist. She was warm hearted and altruistic in nature and had a special commitment to the immigrant community of the greater Poughkeepsie area. Applicants must be a current high school senior or graduate of any high school in Dutchess, Orange, Putnam, Rockland, Sullivan, Ulster or Westchester Counties. Applicants may be high school seniors or undergraduate students. 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. Please visit the scholarship's website or contact the Community Foundations of the Hudson Valley for more information.
