Reminder: Call for Nominations—ACT for Excellence and Student Initiative Scholarship
Sent on behalf of the College-wide Scholarship and Awards Committee
As a reminder, the College-wide Scholarship and Awards Committee is accepting student
self-nominations for the 2025 ACT for Excellence and Student Initiative Scholarship
(ACT Award). The scholarship rewards students for excellence in academic performance
and extraordinary commitment to their campus and/or community. The scholarship amount
is $1,000 with an additional $250 given in their name to the charity of their choice.
Requirements:
In addition to being on the Dean's List in the spring 2025 semester, the student must
have played a role in identifying and/or supporting specific needs at FSC or in the
community, and demonstrate a service or solution which addressed that need. Students
must either be graduating in spring 2025 or expected to graduate from FSC with either
their Associate’s, Bachelor’s, or graduate degree in the future.
Please encourage qualified students to apply and offer to provide a letter of support
on their behalf, as each applicant requires two letters of recommendation.
Students can self-nominate via this Google Form. Recommendation letters are sent separately by email to the Committee Chair, Christine
Schlendorf, PhD, at schlenc@farmingdale.edu.
The deadline for student nominations and faculty/staff letters of support is end-of-day, May 23, 2025.
Questions or concerns can be sent to Dr. Schlendorf, schlenc@farmingdale.edu.
