HYDE PARK- Bellefield at Historic Hyde Park is making pursuing higher education a little easier with the establishment of a $500,000 scholarship program to benefit graduating Hyde Park Central School District seniors in financial need. Bellefield at Historic Hyde Park is a $1 billion tourism destination under development on Route 9, across from the Culinary Institute of America.
The Bellefield-Mulroy Family Scholarship Fund, created via a community benefit agreement between Bellefield and the school district, will provide $25,000 of scholarships each year for 20 years. Scholarships will be open to students pursuing a degree in education; STEM (science, technology, engineering or math); fine and performing arts; and the culinary arts. Recipients must attend a two-year or four-year college/university or vocational school in New York State.
The terms of the scholarship were determined in consultation with the Hyde Park Central School District. A committee, including a Bellefield representative, will consider potential recipients. Details on how to apply will be announced at a later date.
