Ernesto Malavé Scholarship Award

The Ernesto Malave Scholarship Fund was created in May 2010 in memory of the late Ernesto Malave, Vice Chancellor for Budget and Finance of CUNY. Malave, a South Bronx raised Puerto Rican, unexpectedly passed away at the age of 51. His unforgettable presence at CUNY, where he rose from the bottom up to positions of great responsibilities, marked a legacy of 30 years of leadership, service and loyalty. He was unwavering in his commitment of assuring access to higher education to students of Puerto Rican descent attending The City University of New York. The scholarship award is based on financial need and awarded to students in good academic standing, who also devote time and service within the community.
