The Brooklyn College Foundation Presidential Scholarship program offers entering Brooklyn College freshman with outstanding records $4,000 toward the cost of tuition for up to four years of undergraduate study or until completion of the bachelor’s degree. Recipients are selected based on merit demonstrated by SAT
scores and high school performance. In order to be considered, a student generally must have a combined score of at least 1,200 on the SAT and a 90 percent high school average. Brooklyn College Foundation Presidential Scholarships are made possible by unrestricted contributions to the foundation’s annual fund.
Student Scholarships, Awards, and Prizes Brooklyn College Foundation Presidential Scholarship
Over 70% of Brooklyn College students come from households earning $50,000 or less annually. With an estimated annual tuition of $5,700, over 80% of our students rely on some form of financial aid and nearly 50% must work in order to support costs related to tuition and school. Donations in support of scholarships, awards, and prizes are critical in providing our deserving students with affordable access to excellent higher education. The following pages highlight various scholarships, awards, and prizes established through generous contributions to the Brooklyn College Foundation. “My Presidential Scholarship
lightened my financial burden,
which has allowed me to focus
more on the most important
aspect of school: learning.
This gift inspires me to help
others and to give back to my
community. I hope one day
I will be able to help students
achieve their goals just as this
scholarship is helping me.”

“I went to Brooklyn College because my family members attended.
As graduates of Brooklyn College, my aunt became a professor
in clinical psychology at Drexel in Philadelphia and my cousin
is chief of the diabetes unit at Mass General Hospital in Boston.
Having seen their success and given my interest in economics,
I recognized that studying in New York City put me at the center
for business and Wall Street careers. Brooklyn College prepared
me for my MBA at Harvard Business School, which I attended
with three other Brooklyn graduates.
Giving to the College allows me to repay a 30-year-old debt
while making a positive impact on one person’s life. It has been
gratifying to hear from the students who have been helped by
my scholarship. I know some
alumni overlook giving to
Brooklyn because of its sheer
size, but when you put a
student’s name to the gift it
becomes very personal. For my
family, for the students who
attend today and throughout
the history of Brooklyn College,
it has been an important rung
on the ladder of the American
Dream. I can’t think of a more
worthwhile cause.”
— Mace Blicksilver ’76, donor of the Mace
Blicksilver ’76 Scholarship
“The Essel Foundation Scholarship
is such a help to me, especially
considering my financial situation.
It means that I can continue to
give 110% to my scholastic duties
and not have to worry as much
about taking on multiple jobs
that will eat up my time and
sleep. This scholarship will not
be taken for granted; any and all
time that I have will be placed
upon strengthening my scientific
knowledge that will help me reach
my goals and affect the world in a
way that matters.”
— Alexander Zeldin ’13, recipient of the Essel
Foundation Scholarship

“Now is a challenging time for me, my family,
and my community of Sea Gate, Coney Island, as
Hurricane Sandy destroyed our home, beautiful
shoreline, and washed away our quiet life. Today,
I really understand the true value of life and the
importance of supporting one another. Because of
this, I have a great appreciation for my scholarship.
It will help me overcome obstacles so that my
studies will not be interrupted; this is so important
to me and I am grateful.”

lighting design and stage
management. With two
beautiful, young children,
I have little time to work
while focusing on my
studies. This scholarship is
not only an honor for me,
but an immense help to me
and my family. Thank you
so much for your support!”
— Sarah Johnston ’14, 2013 recipient of the

“The [Mazursky] Scholarship is helping to keep the
arts thriving here at Brooklyn College and helping
students like myself to strive for our dreams and
aspirations. Just like the Mazurskys’ efforts to
give back to the community that once served them,
I vow to give back in any way I can to support the
future of the artistic community at my alma mater.
It is only when we lose ourselves in the service of
others that we find ourselves.”

* Restricted funds that were not awarded during the 2013-2014 academic year
Over the years, the importance of internships has continued to increase. Not only do students with internship experience receive, on average, a 20% higher starting salary, but internships are also directly linked to hiring and corporate recruitment. Despite the growing importance of internships, 50% of
internships are unpaid. This means that Brooklyn College students simply cannot afford participate in these internships without a stipend. To address this issue, many alumni and friends have made restricted donations to the Brooklyn College Foundation to finance internship stipends for students participating in low-paying or non-paying internships. The following internship funds enable deserving Brooklyn College students to attain critical work experience that will leverage their education and lay the groundwork for future employment and success:
Student Internships
“The work I will be doing over the summer is
fundamental to my growth as a student and as
an aspiring writer. I would not have been able to
participate in (this internship) over the summer
break without the Clifford and Frances Friedman
Summer Internship stipend and I am confident
that this will be a pivotal experience for my future
career prospects…I am grateful and extremely
humbled to be the recipient of this year’s award.”
— Nicole Casamento, ’13 recipient of
the Friedman Summer Internship
“I finally received an internship offer that will provide
me with hands-on work experience. At first, I was
concerned that I would not be able to afford to
participate in an unpaid internship, but thanks to
the generous financial support [through the Robert J.
Sisti Memorial Internship fund], I was able to
accept my very first internship at the New York City
Department of Finance, where I will be working in
the Tax Policy and Planning Division…It is my hope
that one day I will be able to assist others in reaching
their career goals as this award has done for me.”
— Shani Abrahams ’14, 2013 recipient of
the Sisti Memorial Internship

Study Abroad and Research Fellowships
Incorporating study abroad and research experiences into a college education helps students earn credit toward their degree, strengthens their professional résumé, improves their foreign language skills, and broadens their perspective on the world. Faculty who pursue research and scholarship overseas bring these experiences back to
the classroom. In an effort to expand and deepen international educational and research opportunities, and to make them more available to those in financial need, generous alumni and friends have established the following funds to provide Brooklyn College students and faculty with the necessary support to study and perform research outside of Brooklyn College and, in many cases, abroad:
“My experience was life-changing. Through the
Furman Fellows Travel program, I was able to do
field work in Barbuda with talented scientists and
researchers. I enjoyed working with them so much
that I plan to go on for my masters in Sustainability
Science and Education at the CUNY Graduate
Center and from there, to get my PhD. in anthropology.
I delight in sharing my experience with the Brooklyn
College community—and beyond—on the benefits
of cultural exchange programs to promote
global citizenship.”
— Jen-I Costosa ’13, 2012 recipient of
the Furman Fellowship
Jen-I Costosa ’13, 2012 recipient of the Furman Fellowship
“My summer as a recipient of the Stacey Garil
Womack Memorial Internship at the Johns
Hopkins University School of Medicine has
been one of my most rewarding and memorable
experiences in an academic setting. Working
under the mentorship of renowned faculty, and
alongside accomplished investigators, has allowed
me to expand on and enhance my research skills,
teaching me priceless lessons that I will carry
well into my future as a scientist.”

Lectureships
Generous donors and friends have established the following funds to provide financial incentives to attract scholars and practitioners who are leaders in their fields to visit and host lecture series at Brooklyn College: “I intend to use my award to study the Spanish
language and civilization in Salamanca, Spain.
Languages are extraordinarily important to me,
being that I am also from a country outside the
United States. The travel and cultural experiences
I hope to acquire during this trip will hone my
ability for communication and understanding. I am
sincerely grateful for this award, which will allow
me to further expand my boundaries and apply
what I have spent so many years learning in the
classroom.” — Nikita Mogar ’15, 2013 recipient of
the Christoph M. Kimmich Award
for the BC Honors Academy.
“Through the generous support of the Wolff-Ravenal
Art Travel Award, I will travel to Paris this year to
recreate 10-20 images from my family photo album
using strangers and hired actors. Working with the
actors, I will create tableaus of the moments leading
up to when the photos were taken, the photos
themselves, and the imagined moments after the
images were taken. The performances will be
documented both in video and in final realization as
a photography instillation. I would never have been
able to travel to Paris to partake in a project such
as this if it weren’t for the award I am receiving.
I am grateful for this opportunity.”
— Christina Malfitano’15, 2013 recipient of the
Wolff-Ravenal Art Travel Award.Ted Gellar-Goad, 2014 recipient of the Arlene Fromchuck Feili ’65 Memorial Lecture

How You Can Support Brooklyn CollegeThe Brooklyn College Foundation relies on the generosity of individuals, foundations, and corporations to help further the college’s mission of providing high-quality, affordable education to our students. There are many ways that donors can support our work.
The Annual FundGifts to the annual fund provide critical unrestricted operating supports making it possible for the foundation to respond to the immediate and evolving needs of Brooklyn College. Common uses of annual fund dollars include student scholarships, internship stipends and travel abroad support, funding for faculty research, as well as school improvements. Unrestricted annual fund gifts are essential and benefit more than 16,000 students each year.
The Boylan SocietyThe Boylan Society is the Brooklyn College Foundation’s monthly giving program. When you join the Boylan Society, you authorize the foundation to receive a monthly tax-deductible gift from your checking account or by credit card. This is a wonderful opportunity to provide dependable, enduring, and reliable support to your alma mater. You will no longer need to be concerned with renewal payments or reminder mailings. And since automatic monthly gifts do not require outreach efforts to secure, they are the most efficient way to sustain the level of academic excellence at Brooklyn College.
Corporations and FoundationsThe Brooklyn College Foundation works with faculty and college leadership to identify, build and steward relationships with corporations and foundations to ensure long-term and mutually beneficial partnerships. We aim to understand the needs of corporations and foundations and connect them with appropriate solutions at Brooklyn College. With a world-class faculty, a diverse and talented student body and strong academic and co-curricular programs, Brooklyn College offers significant investment opportunities.
Establishing a Restricted FundA restricted fund helps to meet the needs of Brooklyn College and our students while reflecting the specific interests or desires of a donor. Restricted funds may support student scholarships, awards and travel stipends, as well as faculty research and endowed professorships. Establishing and naming a restricted fund can be a special way to honor or memorialize a loved one’s interests or accomplishments, honor a former student and/or faculty member or encourage students in a particular academic area. The Brooklyn College Foundation welcomes donations to establish and name new restricted funds, as well as donations of any size in support of already existing restricted funds.
Gifts OnlineIt is now easier than ever to make a donation to Brooklyn College. Just log on to the Brooklyn College Foundation website, www.brooklyncollegefoundation.org, and use our secure connection to make a tax-deductible gift with your credit or debit card with a MasterCard, American Express, Visa, or Discover logo. We also accept automatic fund transfers from your checking or savings account.
The Legacy Society: Planned Gifts Members of the Legacy Society share our vision of academic excellence for future generations by making a provision for the college in their estate planning. The Brooklyn College Foundation offers several future-oriented investment opportunities, including charitable gift annuities, charitable remainder trusts or life insurance. Legacy Society members may also make planned gifts in the form of a bequest.
Matching Gifts: Double the impact of Your DonationIf your company matches employee contributions to higher education, you may be able to seek a match for your gift to the Brooklyn College Foundation. In order to find out if your company provides matching gifts please visit our online matching gift search engine on the donate page of the foundations website for further instructions or check with www.brooklyncollegefoundation.org. Your human resources office can provide specific instructions about how to seek a company matching gift.
Naming OpportunitiesBrooklyn College offers a wide spectrum of naming opportunities. Individuals or groups of donors may select from a menu of naming options ranging from commemorative bricks in front of our new West Quad Center, to benches near our beloved lily pond, to classrooms or lecture halls around campus. These are very special opportunities to leave behind a legacy at the college while contributing to the success of future Brooklyn College students.
Tributes and MemorialsThe Brooklyn College Foundation Tribute and Memorial Program was created in response to alumni requests as a means to offer special recognition to those who have made a difference in their lives. A donation to the Tribute and Memorial Program gives you the opportunity to honor a loved one, friend, business associate or caregiver. Gifts have been made to commemorate special occasions, including birthdays, anniversaries or retirement. The program is a meaningful way to express feelings of remembrance or gratitude.
