Announcement Of Three Alumni Funded Scholarships

Announcement of three alumni funded scholarships. The Hazel English Ferris Scholarship aids current students in English one year and the School of Business the next. The scholarships are in honor of New York State College of Teachers faculty members Agnes Futterer of English and George Morill York of commerce. Ms Ferris, who established the scholarship, graduated from the New York State College of Teachers in 1932 with a BS in commerce. The Rachel Lisa Taubman Fellowship was established by Dr. Edward Taubman '72 and Mrs. Nancy Horowitz '73 Taubman in the late 1980s in honor of their daughter Rachel who died as an infant. The Fund supports a doctoral student in developmental biology. A third scholarship, The Lillian '25, MA '38 and Florence '35 Slater Scholarship was established after Lillian died in 1996 and left a bequest of $10,000 in her will for a scholarship to benefit University students. Both Slater women credit the New York State College for Teachers' free tuition with allowing them to attend college.
