The Jamestown Community College Foundation has announced the endowment of the Dr. Gregory T. DeCinque Unified Student Assistance (USA) Scholarship, thanks to more than $125,000 in support from local businesses, organizations, foundations, and individuals.
Dr. DeCinque’s career in higher education spanned 42 years, the last 19 of which were as president of Jamestown Community College.
Upon his retirement in August 2013, Dr. DeCinque had awarded degrees to nearly 14,000 students. During his tenure, he guided an expansion of the college’s degree and certificate programs and oversaw the enhancement of the college’s transferability options to include agreements with 43 four-year colleges and universities.
A Dr. Gregory T. DeCinque USA Scholarship will be awarded annually to a qualified student on both the Jamestown and Cattaraugus County campuses.
The USA Scholarship program provides New York state resident tuition to first-time, full-time freshmen who rank in the top 20 percent of their graduating class from participating schools.
