CRD Legacy Scholarship
The CASE CRD Legacy Scholarship makes it possible for deserving community college professionals to access valuable learning opportunities that might otherwise be out of reach. Through the generosity of donors, these scholarships give recipients the chance to attend CASE programs, gain new skills, and bring fresh ideas and proven strategies back to their campuses.
The result is stronger fundraising, deeper alumni engagement, and more resources for students, creating transformative impact that extends far beyond a single scholarship recipient.
Simply put, CASE CRD Legacy Scholarship is an investment not just in one professional’s growth, but in the success of entire community college communities.
Hear the Impact
This past year, the scholarship was awarded to Jynks Burton, Director of Grants Management at SUNY Corning Community College, and Mary Kern, Advancement Coordinator at Johnson College, whose experiences with the program are making a meaningful impact on their campuses.
I've never been given an opportunity like this—somebody paying my way, you know what I mean? It’s really great to give someone a chance like this. Whether it's someone like me who went to school at night while raising kids, or a younger person just starting out, this kind of support helps launch careers and opens doors to professional growth. I’m very grateful, very grateful for the opportunity.
