$5,000 Scholarship

The Robert J. Nolan Foundation was created in 1988 to provide financial assistance at the undergraduate and graduate levels of colleges and universities for men and women graduates of secondary schools in the greater Glens Falls, NY area. The 9 qualifying area schools are Corinth Central HS, Fort Ann Central HS, Fort Edward Central HS, Glens Falls HS, Hadley Luzerne Central School, Lake George HS, Queensbury HS, South Glens Falls HS, Hudson Falls HS. Scholarships are intended to assist student payments for tuition, books, fees, and equipment.

Scholarship recipients are eligible to receive $5,000 per academic year up to a total four year award of $20,000. Awards are coordinated to be paid directly to the academic institution on a semester basis; thus, most receive $2500 for the Fall semester and $2500 for the Spring semester. Students attending schools with Trimesters or other deviation from a standard schedule will be accommodated as needed within the annual limit of $5,000 per academic year. Deferments for semesters abroad may be accommodated on a case by case basis as evaluated by the Board of Directors. For specific guidance, please contact the Foundation administrator.
