The Long Island Game Farm announced today that for the fifth straight year it
is inviting graduating high school
seniors to apply for the Stanley
and Susan Novak Memorial Scholarship.
The time is now to apply for the
annual scholarship - worth $1000.
Each year, this award is granted to a graduating senior from the
island who plans to attend a two-year
or higher college or university
program and exemplifies the qualities
required to become a pioneer in
nature; whether it be in the field
of veterinary medicine or environmental
science. The application deadline
is May 1, 2008.
The scholarship
was established in 2004 to honor
the memories of Stanley John Novak,
the Game Farm’s co-founder, and
his daughter, Susan Mary Novak. In 1999, Stanley Novak
was 66 and had been building the
Long Island Game Farm for nearly
30 years. Sadly, he died from a
heart attack, leaving his legacy
behind. In 2001, his daughter,
Susan, who worked at the Game Farm
since she was five years old, died
from Multiple Myeloma at age 37.
Both were passionate about animals
and were steadfast in maintaining
Long Island’s environment.
"I can think of no better way to
help preserve the memories of Stanley
and Susan. They helped our family
pursue its dream of building a
park where children can
see and interact with animals found in nature. Through this scholarship, we help
college students pursue their dreams," said Diane Novak, Co-Founder and Owner
of the Long Island Game Farm.
Students can apply by obtaining application materials
through their high school
guidance department or by downloading the Scholarship Application (PDF) and the Enrollment Verification Form (PDF). The
application deadline is May 1,
2008. The winner will be announced
on or about June 1, 2008. For more
