The 2008 Nicole Schiffman Memorial Scholarship was awarded this spring to an extraordinary senior at Kennedy High School, Victoria Pasculli. Victoria was selected based not only on her writing skills, extra-curricular activities, and community service involvement, but also for her compassion, determination and sensitivity towards the essay topic. Victoria will be attending Barnard College in Fall 2009.
