The Arc of Delaware County is again pleased to take part in offering scholarship applications to individuals who plan to study in fields related to intellectual and other developmental disabilities. The scholarships are available through NYSARC, Inc., the Chapter’s parent organization.
The James F. Reville Scholarship, in the amount of $3,000.00 will be presented to two people in New York State who are not currently employed by a chapter of NYSARC (i.e. The Arc of Delaware County) and are enrolled full-time in any year of their college training in a field related to intellectual and other developmental disabilities. The scholarship will be paid in installments of $750.00 per semester for any two years within a four year period from the time the scholarship is awarded.
Two additional requirements for scholarship consideration are that the nominated person has been actively involved in serving individuals in some capacity who have intellectual and other developmental disabilities (i.e. worked or volunteered), and the person has a letter of recommendation from the organization in which they were involved.
Applications must be submitted by Monday, December 22, 2008 to The Arc of Delaware County, Attn: Community Relations, 34570 State Highway 10, Walton , New York , 13856 . The Arc of Delaware County will then select one application to be sent on to NYSARC, Inc. for consideration for the Scholarship Award.
Individuals seeking applications or additional information on applying should contact The Arc of Delaware County Community Relations Department at (607) 865-7126 or email H.Zujovic@delarc.org.
