James J. Rotella Memorial Scholarship

Established in 1997 by James F. Rotella in memory of James “Jimmy” Rotella, this scholarship is awarded to a full-time junior-level student enrolled in the Watson College, based on academic merit (3.0 GPA or higer) and financial need. The recipient should demonstrate admirable work ethic which is a quality displayed by Mr. Rotella throughout his life. Preference is given to a Broome County resident, particularly those of Italian-American heritage.

A review of Watson College students is done based on donor terms, and selection is made based on high academic achievement and financial need.
