The Center for Multicultural Affairs is pleased to introduce
the SUNY Fredonia Keeper of the Dream Scholars. Each
year, four freshmen receive this new scholarship, established
by the Division of Student Affairs.

Keeper of the Dream scholarships are awarded
competitively to entering freshmen based on high school
achievement, community service and a demonstrated
commitment to multiculturalism. Recipients are expected
to demonstrate personal leadership and commitment to
cultural pluralism and cross cultural dialogue while on
campus. Each recipient qualified based on meeting one of
the following criteria: top 10 percent of his/her graduating
class, achieved SAT scores of at least 1100 (or 25 ACT), or
maintained at least an 85 percent high school average. In
addition, each recipient had a strong record of community
service, and wrote an essay on Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s
dream for equality, including his/her own commitment to
pursuing that dream.

In addition to receiving a $4,000 scholarship, recipients
participate in a rigorous and exciting leadership
development program while enrolled at Fredonia. The
scholarships are renewable for up to four years as long as
the student maintains the required academic standards.
