New Rochelle FUSE awards scholarships to college bound children of FUSE members each year.  In the past 22 years, FUSE Scholarship Awards have assisted students in meeting the costly expense of college education. Scholarship recipients are selected on the basis of demonstrated academic excellence, community involvement, and participation in extra-curricular activities.

Scholarship recipients are selected by a committee of FUSE members who review each application submitted.  Applications are available from the FUSE office in March, and scholarship recipients are announced in June. Nick Pesacreta, Executive Vice President of FUSE, serves as the Scholarship Committee chairman
