City Council announces restoration of Peter Vallone Sr. namesake scholarship BY LIAM LA GUERRE [email protected]/@liamlaguerre “The original Dream Act” — as some call it — is alive. Thousands of eligible high school students across the city will once again be able to enjoy the rewards of a college scholarship, regardless of immigration status. Officials announced Tuesday, July 8, the City Council Merit Based Scholarship, once named after former Speaker Peter Vallone Sr., was restored after it was voted into the budget of the City Council for $11.1 million. The scholarship was originally slashed in 2011 by former Speaker Christine Quinn after reported political infighting with former Councilman Peter Vallone Jr. The reinstated scholarship will help aid 13,500 students as early as this fall who maintain at least a B average and seek to attend a City University of New York (CUNY) institution. It offers about $400 per semester for each recipient. “By restoring the City Council CUNY Merit Based Scholarship, we have once again issued a challenge to every student in New York City,” said Councilman Paul Vallone, son of the former speaker. “If you make the commitment to be the best student you can be, then we will stand with you as we open the doors to a college education together.” JYD AUTO GROUP (IN CONJUNCTION WITH BROADWAY AUTO BROKERS) DMV# 7114307 162-38 CROSS BAY BOULEVARD • HOWARD BEACH, NY 11414 You Work!
