SCHOLARSHIP PAGE

Hi, my name is Kiama Condran, and I am a senior graduating from Floral Park Memorial High School. Throughout my high school career, I played on the varsity volleyball and softball teams, and have been a member of the National Honor Society and the National Society of High School Scholars. I will be attending SUNY Oneonta in the Fall, where I will be majoring in Dietetics. I have always been interested in eating healthy and understanding how nutrition impacts our lives and various medical conditions. I plan on working in a hospital and opening up my own practice one day. I am so excited to get started on this chapter of my life and see where it takes me.

I am very grateful to the FDNY Steuben Association for selecting me as the recipient of the Jill Maurer-Campbell Memorial Scholarship. I have had the honor of meeting the Maurer family at various FDNY Steuben events while growing up, unfortunately, I had never met Jill, but I imagine her to be as wonderful as the rest of her family. I truly appreciate the FDNY Steuben Association for all they do and for supporting graduating students as they further their education. As education costs continue to rise, this scholarship will help me fund my education and the essentials needed. Thanks again, Kiama Condran.
