Alumni Scholarship

The 2023 recipient of the Alumni Scholarship is Olivia Smith. Olivia is pursuing an Associate Degree in Medical Assistant Management.

Olivia’s main goal after she graduates CW is to go to nursing school. The College of Westchester helped Olivia gain knowledge, skills and experience. CW also helped her in her career path. On top of that, she gained additional skills in communication and problem solving, which helped her to achieve her goals and also helped Olivia increase her confidence.

The Alumni Association Scholarship was created by one of the college’s Alum who wanted a way to pay it forward and help current students of The College of Westchester realize their dreams of obtaining a college education. This scholarship is awarded every year to a current student with at least 15 credits and a minimum 3.0 cumulative GPA. In addition to strong academic accomplishments, scholarship recipients are selected based on involvement in leadership and community service activities, and demonstrated financial need.
