On September 23, 2025, members of the Dream Foundation Board had the privilege of meeting several of our 2025 scholarship recipients currently attending Suffolk County Community College (SCCC).
These inspiring students are pursuing their academic goals with determination and resilience. While not all scholars could attend—many were in class or at work—their commitment speaks volumes about their dedication.
This year, the Foundation awarded $15,000 in scholarships to 15 students, each receiving $1,000 to support their educational journey.
We were honored to be joined by SCCC leadership:
- Dr. Ed Bonahue, President
- Donna Ciampa, Ed.D., Executive Dean
- Mary Lou Araneo, Vice President for Institutional Advancement
- Maggie Eng-Salvaggio, College Gifts Coordinator
Their partnership helps make these opportunities possible.
