Applications are now open for the 2023 Carey Gabay Memorial Scholarship.

Now in its eighth year, the scholarship covers the full cost of attendance for five incoming SUNY freshmen.

“The Carey Gabay Scholarship celebrates students that are leaders in their community and are working to make New York a better place to live, work and play,” Governor Hochul said. “Carey Gabay, a product of the Bronx public schools and a dedicated public servant, represented the New York dream in action and I’m proud that this continued scholarship honors his memory.”

Carey Gabay was an attorney who worked for former Governor Andrew Cuomo. He was fatally shot in the crossfire of a 2015 gang shootout.

Applications are due by September 22nd. Application information and requirements can be found on SUNY’s website.
