SCHOLARSHIPS
This award was created in 2009 to honor friend to CW, former Mayor Joseph Delfino for his fine work and tremendous support of the college. Education for today's youth has always been a passion of Mayor Delfino's: "I am all about the kids, about education, taking care of the younger members of our community." Since CW and former Mayor Delfino have a long, collaborative relationship that goes back more than 30 years, it seemed fitting that an award be created in his honor and is granted annually. The successful recipient must be a White Plains High School student currently attending CW, and most importantly, they must embody Mayor Joe's spirit of giving.
The Justin Stone Memorial Scholarship was established to honor the legacy of Professor Emeritus Justin Stone, whose passion for education, dedication to students, and commitment to The College of Westchester and the CW Charitable Foundation (CWCF) left a lasting impact on the community. This scholarship seeks to continue Justin's vision by providing financial support to students who demonstrate the same drive, commitment to excellence, and desire to make a positive difference in their lives and the lives of others.
The scholarship will be awarded to students who show a strong commitment to their education and who exemplify leadership, perseverance, and a dedication to service—values that Professor Stone lived by throughout his life. Through this scholarship, Justin's legacy will continue to inspire and empower future generations of students as they pursue their academic and professional goals.
The College of Westchester Charitable Foundation Board established the Jeanne Sutkowski Scholarship in loving memory of a caring, devoted and hard-working wife and mother who cared for all around her. Jeanne was the wife of CW Chairman Emeritus Ernest H. Sutkowski and mother to President & CEO, Mary Beth Del Balzo; Vice President of Marketing and Media Resources, Nancy Trim and Vice Chair of the CW Board, Karen Smith. Jeanne was also mother to Joe Sutkowski and Jennifer Sutkowski. This scholarship will be awarded on an annual basis to an individual who aspires to work in the health care industry and possesses the same compassion for others as Jeanne did. Special thanks to Jeanne Sutkowski's family and friends for making this scholarship possible.
Datakey Consulting, founded by Ted Miller in 2004, recently established this scholarship in honor of Ted Miller's mom, Doris Metzger Miller. Doris was a remarkable, colorful, and extremely bright woman who grew up quite poor during the Great Depression in Rochester, NY. With her passing, Ted has had many moments of reflection and gratitude for the strong foundation she has given him. Ted feels her greatest contribution as an individual was her encouragement of others, especially women, to believe in themselves enough to further their pursuits in education. Doris had an insatiable desire to learn and she continued to learn well after achieving her Ph. D. She was a college professor, a published researcher, and an instructional designer. When Ted opened his company in 2004, she was instrumental in creating the company name, DataKey. She firmly believed individuals should have the freedom to exercise their intellectual curiosity. Ted believes that it is because of his mother that education has played a key role in his life. The right recipient for this award should possess the same passion for learning, education and growth.
The College of Westchester Charitable Foundation established this scholarship to honor the memory of Radford Quesada who was part of the CW family from 2008 until his untimely passing in 2015. He was a dedicated employee and a wonderful person who always had a smile on his face and a story to tell. As Junior Network Administrator, he interacted with all staff, faculty, administration and students, and he always exemplified The CW Way in everything he did. His genuine personality inspired everyone that we do have time to just be people, to treat each other with kindness, to take a breath and enjoy life. Since he had such a positive impact on all he met during his service to CW, it was only fitting that a scholarship be named after him. The recipient for this award should possess the same passion for life, happiness and success.
