(Those going into High School)

Hello, my name is Amanda Chojnacki. It is quite an honor to receive the 2022 Jill Maurer-Campbell Memorial Scholarship from the FDNY Steuben Association. I am graduating from Holy Trinity High School in Hicksville and will be attending DePaul University in Chicago in the Fall where I will be studying Communications & Media. At Holy Trinity I was involved in many activities. In sports, I ran Track & Field, was on the Girls’ Basketball Team, and also played on the Golf team. I was chosen to be in the National Honor Society and the Quill & Scroll Honor Society. I was also a Student Ambassador and wrote for our school’s digital newspaper. I would like to thank my dad for sponsoring me. He was a 9-11 World Trade Center responder, so being awarded the Jill Maurer scholarship is particularly meaningful for us. I am very appreciative of the Steuben Association for providing me with this prestigious award.

My name is Michael Hefner, and I am a graduate of Fordham Prep. class of 2022. I am president of the Business Club and Aviation Club and served on the Dean’s Council. I will be continuing my education next year at Elon University in North Carolina and will be majoring in Business. I am grateful to be awarded the FDNY Steuben Association 9/11 Memorial Scholarship. This award means a lot to me as my father was an NYPD responder to the aftermath of the attack at the World Trade Center and came over to the Fire Department soon after. Thank you to the Steuben Association for bestowing upon me this great honor.

THE GERARD S. CARMOSIN MEMORIAL SCHOLARSHIP OF $500

Hello, my name is Justin Schweickert. I am very thankful to be the recipient of the Gerard S. Carmosin Memorial Scholarship. I will be graduating from Massapequa High School in June and have decided to attend Adelphi University in the Fall. I have been active in my high school as Vice President of the Gaming Club and I’m looking forward to working as a camp counselor in my school district’s summer recreation program for my 4th summer. I am very excited and proud to have received this scholarship from the Steuben Society and I very much appreciate the honor.

Dear FDNY Steuben Association Executive Board, Thank you so much for awarding me the 2022 12th grade female scholarship. I am very grateful and will put the money to good use toward my tuition at the University of Delaware this fall. I plan to study sports management and communications at the University. I will be graduating on June 25th from Valley Central High School in Montgomery, NY. I am very excited to start my college career in August. My dad, Jim Grismer, was a 26 year member of the FDNY. I am proud to receive the scholarship in the memory of Tom Hetzel, my dad’s mutual partner, who was a lifetime member of the Steuben Association and, sadly, lost his life on September 11th. Thank you again for this award. Sincerely, Melanie Grismer
