Larry Braun Engineering Scholarship

A Brooklyn native, Larry lived in Gardiner and was involved in the life of the Hudson Valley community. He ran for Gardiner Highway Superintendent and was an advocate of environmental causes. Larry was also a communitarian, believing strongly in protecting the earth and all living creatures while respecting and assisting his fellow humans.

As a member of the Unison Arts Center, he took pleasure in many events there and at SUNY New Paltz. His love of New Paltz and all that it offered inspired him to establish an endowment through a bequest in the summer of 2013, the Larry Braun Engineering Scholarship for worthy and historically underrepresented engineering students at SUNY New Paltz.

Applicants should be at the undergraduate level, full time or part time (minimum 6 credits), hold a GPA of 3.0 or higher and be a declared major in Engineering. Preference will be given to those with financial need.
