Coleen Hughes Memorial Scholarship

The Coleen Hughes Memorial Scholarship is in memory of a popular, enthusiastic and friendly SUNY Ulster Alumna. Coleen Hughes graduated as a Recreation Leadership major in 1981 and was employed with the Kingston Department of Parks and Recreation. In 1985, she died in an automobile accident. Coleen’s friends, family, and associates established a permanent award to carry on her spirit. Candidates should be either returning or transferring to a four-year college or university. They should major in Individual Studies with a career goal in the field of recreation. While grades are taken into consideration, all students regardless of cumulative average are considered. The scholarship committee will choose a recipient who best demonstrates Coleen’s love for life and service to others.
