“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.”
—Geena Bell ’16
Brooklyn College Foundation
Brooklyn College Foundation
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.

“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.”

“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.”

“I created the Zimbardo
Psychology Award to
provide a monetary honor
to outstanding students
in Brooklyn College’s fine
psychology program. I do so
as a way of giving thanks
for the wonderful education
I received at BC, nearly 60
years ago, without tuition
which enabled a poor kid
from the Bronx to end up as
a professor of psychology
at Stanford University, and
also as president of the
American Psychological
Association.”

Student Internships
O
ver 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 nonpaying 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:
BCF General Internships
Awarded to BC students participating
in un-paid or low-paying internships.

of theater and the department of

Awarded to students working on a
summer research/internship project
on recycling with an eye toward
developing an on-campus food

“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.”

“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.”

Study Abroad and Research Fellowships
I
ncorporating 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:
David Davidson
Memorial Undergraduate
Chemistry Fellowship
Awarded to junior and/or senior
students for summer research
Naomi Grace Isaac
Noushad Mohd
Angelina Radionova
Roy L. Furman ’60 Furman

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.”

“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.”

“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

“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.”

How You Can
Support
Brooklyn College
The Brooklyn College Foundation relies on the
generosity of individuals, foundations, and corporations
to help further the college’s mission of providing highquality, affordable education to our students. There
are many ways that donors can support our work.
The Annual Fund
Gifts 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.
28
The 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.
The 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 Fund
A 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.
Naming Opportunities
It 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.
Brooklyn 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.
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 futureoriented 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 Donation
If 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.
Tributes and Memorials
The 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.
