Graduate Music, Environmental Studies Scholarship Established
Students pursuing an advanced degree in environmental studies or music have a new scholarship opportunity thanks to a partnership the Northern New York Community Foundation recently formed with the Vici and Steve Diehl Foundation. The scholarship supports tuition costs for students accepted to or enrolled in a graduate degree program in environmental studies or music.
The Vici and Steve Diehl Foundation is a component fund of the Northern New York Community Foundation.
Mr. and Mrs. Diehl are lifelong supporters of environmental concerns. They frequently volunteer for various organizations, including the Indian River Lakes Conservancy, Tug Hill Tomorrow Land Trust, and the Natural Heritage Program, a partnership between the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation and the Nature Conservancy. They also share a lifelong passion for music.
Mr. Diehl holds a master’s degree in instructional technology and a bachelor’s degree in professional photography, both from the Rochester Institute of Technology. Mrs. Diehl graduated from the Rochester Institute of Technology with a degree in photo illustration.
The scholarship will be awarded to students from Jefferson, Lewis or St. Lawrence counties. Contact the Northern New York Community Foundation, 315-782-7110, to learn more about the scholarship and how to apply or visit www.nnycf.org.
