NYSUT RETIREE COUNCIL 10 HIGH SCHOOL SCHOLARSHIP RECIPIENTS and
RETIREE COUNCIL 10 RETIREE RECOGNITION
The 2025 Retiree Council 10 Scholarship Committee met to review 22 applications from students in the four counties represented by RC 10: Albany, Rensselaer, Saratoga, and Washington. Applications were rated on set criteria including an essay on who has influenced them to pursue an education career. The committee members were left with a very positive feeling about the future of our chosen profession based on the overall high caliber of the applications.
This year’s winners are Abby Rudolph from Albany County, Leah McIntosh from Rensselaer County, Audrey Mosall from Saratoga County, and Chloe Bentzen from Washington County.
Congratulations to them. These students and their families were honored at the spring annual dinner meeting on June 4.
