Scholarships, and high academic honors classes are privileges that I will be receiving as a Baruch scholar through out my college years. Scholarships have ease the burden of financial difficulty that my family was concerned for, and academic enriched classes have and will continue to help me to strive for higher education. I believe that […] Continue reading

As a Baruch Scholar it is the responsibility of all scholars, not only myself, to make a great and fantastic first and lasting impression on those in both our community and the Baruch community.
