A MESSAGE FROM SUNY ULSTER PRESIDENT ALISON BUCKLEY, ED.D.

The President's Challenge Scholarship (PCS) Program offers a remarkable opportunity to connect with and empower first-generation students in our community, supporting them from high school through their college years. These invaluable connections underscore SUNY Ulster's mission to educate the individual and elevate the community. This fall, President's Challenge Scholarship recipients achieved significant milestones. They completed their degree requirements, earned recognition for their academic excellence, and gained practical experience through internships in their chosen fields. We are especially delighted to welcome one of our recent Alumna Skylar Barringer '24 to the SUNY Ulster team, where she has launched her professional career as an Enrollment & Success Center Clerk. These achievements exemplify the transformative power of education and the profound impact of the President's Challenge Scholarship. This program opens doors to a college education and paves the way for meaningful and fulfilling careers. Our engagement with PCS students begins in the 8th grade, and we are privileged to witness their growth and development throughout their academic journey. We are excited to welcome high school students back to campus on April 1st and 2nd for their spring visit experience. To learn more about the President's Challenge Scholarship and how you can support this impactful program, please call 845.687.5093 or visit the PCS Donor Information page.
