The September 11th Scholarship Fund at Hamilton College
The September 11th Scholarship Fund at Hamilton College is awarded based on financial need in the following order of preference: first, to students who are direct descendants of Hamilton alumni who lost their lives on September 11th; second, to students who are direct descendants of any other victim of the September 11th attacks; third, to students who are the direct descendants of victims of future national calamities; fourth, to students who have lost a parent for any reason.
This scholarship fund was established in 2001 by a lead gift from Stephen I. Sadove, Class of 1973, Hamilton Trustee and current Chairman of the Board, along with hundreds of gifts from alumni, parents, and friends. The award honors the memory of Sylvia San Pio Resta, Class of 1995, Arthur J. Jones III, Class of 1986, and Adam J. Lewis, Class of 1987 – Hamilton alumni who tragically lost their lives in the New York City Twin Towers during the September 11th terrorist attacks on the U.S.
