70 NECSD Scholars Recognized with SUNY Orange Sojourner Truth Awards
About the Sojourner Truth Awards from SUNY Orange
For the past thirty-five years, in honor of Sojourner Truth, Orange County Community College has celebrated its youth by awarding them for their achievements. We continue to recognize the accomplishments of these deserving students in grades 6-12 and encourage college attendance as an option for students from groups traditionally under-represented in the college population.
Those students nominated by their schools will receive a medal and a Certificate of Recognition from SUNY Orange.
As we are encouraged by what the future holds, now more than ever we must reassure our youth to persist and continue on the path toward all of the opportunities that await them.
