The Long Island Game Farm is pleased to announce that it will offer a $1,000 scholarship to a graduating Long Island senior from the Class of 2011. The Long Island Game Farm is inviting graduating high school
seniors to apply for the Stanley
and Susan Novak Memorial Scholarship. The scholarship has been established to encourage and assist Long Island students in the pursuit of degrees in veterinary medicine or environmental science and will be presented to a graduating Long Island high school senior who plans on attending a two-year (or greater) college or university program immediately following graduation.
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.
To be eligible, a completed, typed application form, including an essay, together with two confidential letters of recommendation, high school enrollment verification form and recent high school transcript, must be received collectively no later than May 2, 2011. Our Scholarship Committee will select a winner and you will be notified if a student in your school is selected for this honor on or about June 1, 2011. The winner will receive a one-time $1,000.00 scholarship and can be presented with the award at any school awards ceremony your district may conduct. For more
