When the Alumni Association merged with the SUNY Optometry Foundation, we established an endowed scholarship that provides critical funding to an average of 3 students per year. Each year, a member of the Alumni Association is invited to present the scholarships to the students at our annual Scholarship Reception. Alumni may donate to this fund to increase the financial support available to help students.
