A very big “thank you” to the Northfield Bank Foundation for awarding Kingsborough Community College a $20,000 grant — a whole lot of moola! — to provide $500 scholarships to 40 students from Brooklyn and Staten Island.

College veep Elizabeth Basile and president Farley Herzek were on hand to accept the check from Diane Senerchia, executive director of the foundation; Regina Boukhvalova, veep and a business development officer at Northfield Bank; and Jesus Adia, veep and regional business development manager for Northfield Bank.

The scholarships will allow students to stay in school and achieve their educational goals. The students must demonstrate financial need and be in good academic standing. Recipients of the Northfield Bank Foundation Scholarship are identified through a collaborative review process involving Kingsborough’s financial aid, college advancement, and enrollment management offices.

The Northfield Bank Foundation has been one of the college’s most generous and steadfast supporters, providing crucial scholarship opportunities for nearly 140 Kingsborough students in need since 2010.

Kingsborough Community College is dedicated to promoting student learning and development as well as strengthening and serving its diverse community.
