educational scholarships

"Thanks to the help of CCNW and this scholarship, I am able to attend an extraordinary program, and try with
every opportunity to pursue my dreams in the city of my dreams."

Our Dowling Educational Scholarship Program is a natural extension of our long-held commitment to equipping our neighbors with the resources they need to achieve financial stability. CCNW receives applications for its scholarship program from families who use our services. Each of our scholarship recipients had an inspiring story to share of their educational dreams to improve themselves and their families' lives. Through hard work and determination, often managing school and jobs, these students are well deserving of support.

In 2024:

  • 34 applicants received a scholarship to help them on their educational path
  • Scholarship recipients planned to study criminal justice, nursing, graphic design, psychology, robotics/engineering and more
  • Students were attending a variety of schools, including Binghamton University, Bard College, Westchester Community College, and SUNY-Oswego
