WTC Memorial Scholarship Fund
On September 11, 2001, 38 Port Authority civilian employees and 37 Port Authority Police died in the terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center. Five employees died on the attack before that on February 26, 1993. In their memory and for their selfless actions the WTC Memorial Golf Club Committee is awarding annual scholarships in the amount of $15,500 for a 4-year undergraduate degree and $8,000 for a 2-year associate degree. To receive the full benefit of the scholarship the recipient must maintain a 3.0 GPA while in college.
To be eligible, a prospective recipient must be a child of or relative of an active or retired Port Authority employee; a graduating senior with a desire to further their education; be accepted into an accredited 2 year or 4-year college, university or vocational school.
