Paul Family Scholarship

Established in 2005 by Dorothy Jones to benefit the students of Harpur College of Arts & Sciences. The Paul Family Scholarship is intended to provide tuition and fees support. The Paul recipient will be considered and selected according to these principles and the following guidelines: full-time Harpur College undergraduate with senior status; in alternating years the scholarship will be awarded to an incoming senior with a declared major in science or mathematics (fall of odd-numbered years) and then to an incoming senior with a declared major in the humanities (fall of even-numbered years); and recipient will demonstrate academic excellence with a GPA of 3.4 or higher. If more than one student meets the academic excellence criterion, award will go to the student with the greatest financial need.
