A little known part of the Cares Act includes a one-time $300 above the line deduction, even for people who take the standard deduction, when given to a public charity. If you haven't yet, please consider giving to the SUNY Orange Foundation. It is an investment that will change a life. #sunyorange, #EmpoweringDreams, #givelocal https://www.sunyorangefoundation.org/make-a-gift-now

The Elinor and Maynard Marks Family Scholarship is one more step put in place on the mountain I have to climb to achieve my goals. With every step it makes the mountain easier. I may be the only one who could climb it but it sure helpful to have steps put there to make it easier. Without scholarships like yours and help from places like Access VR it would’ve been like climbing a mountain that just crumbled under my feet and hands. The assistance that this brings is invaluabl...e and I could never think you enough. I truly hope that you understand the amazing impact it has on my life and my family.

The opportunity the Foundation has awarded me, with this scholarship, will help me continue my path towards graduation as a member of the Radiologic Technology program. Upon receipt of this scholarship, I will do the best job that I can to continually uphold the integrity of myself, the Foundation, SUNY Orange, and all of those who put their trust in me.

I plan on pursuing an associate’s degree in Early Childhood Education at SUNY ORANGE, through the years of 2020 to 2022. As I plan on pursuing my degree, I will always keep in mind that I am the first child to receive a form of higher education. It is because of your gratitude I am able to make my immigrant family proud. They are the reason I strive to be the best version of myself and thanks to this scholarship it has helped us stay on track with our finances. Thank you for allowing me to live up to a dream of going to college. It is because of your foundation that this is possible. Thank you.
