John L. Halford Sr. Endowed and Memorial Scholarship

The John L. Halford, Sr., Endowed and Memorial Scholarship shall be awarded annually to four entering students and to at least two (2) graduating seniors from Gouverneur Central School who will pursue a four-year college degree at SUNY Canton. It is desired that 50% of the overall recipients come from the Gouverneur area. Recipients shall be selected based on financial need, academic achievement, and involvement in extracurricular activities. Selection of the particular Gouverneur students will be made by the Gouverneur Central School Scholarship Committee and the recipients will be announced at Moving-Up Day. The award amounts will be calculated and evenly distributed to students for every year they attend the College providing they maintain a GPA of 2.5 or above. Students are eligible to continue to receive the scholarship until the completion of their four-year degree. If the chosen students for some reason do not continue their studies, the scholarship may be awarded to a Gouverneur Central School graduate who has the appropriate GPA and is in a four-year program.
