For the 13th year, Isabella Geriatric Center has given local students money for college through its McFadden Scholarship Fund, named after Isabella’s retired CEO and president Edward J. McFadden. The dozen students were honored Thu., May 13 during a dinner at Isabella on Audubon Avenue and W. 190th Street attended by family members and community leaders.
The awardees were selected based on their grades and test scores, an essay outlining their record of community service and, for the top applicants, a sit down interview with a selection committee member. Of the 23 applications that were received, the committee picked 12 students for awards of between $1,000 and $3,000.
