Hudson Valley Community College has received $400,000 from the Second Chance Scholarship Foundation to create an endowed fund that will expand the Second Chance Scholarship program on campus. This donation is one of the single largest scholarship gifts in the college’s history. The Second Chance Scholarship Foundation, administered by the Mastrangelo family, originally awarded its first five scholarships at Hudson Valley in 1989 and later expanded to other area colleges.
Second Chance Scholarships are aimed at students who not only are in need, but who overcome tremendous personal obstacles in order to pursue an education. The goal is to reward those who demonstrate the initiative and desire to achieve self-sufficiency through education. Students also are required to demonstrate academic achievement.
