After much deliberation, it has been decided that Hostos Community College Foundation’s 2020 Annual Scholarship Benefit, scheduled for Wednesday, April 29, 2020, will be postponed.
​
The health and safety of our students, staff and community will always remain our paramount priorities, and so this decision was made out of an abundance of caution. We will continue to monitor the situation and provide additional information at a later date.
The Hostos Community College Foundation will hold its annual Scholarship Benefit on Wednesday, April 29. It will welcome an audience of approximately 250 guests. Attendees will include leaders and friends from business, education, government, and community health and social services sectors.
​
The annual Scholarship Benefit - Hostos' premier fundraising event - strengthens the institutional mission of the College: furthering student success. Net proceeds support students along their road to degree completion, helping to create positive trajectories for themselves and their families.

One of Westchester's unique jewels, Glen Island was originally created in 1879 as a summer resort for a business representitive named John H. Starin.
​
The Glen Island Casino was a springboard to success during the 1930's Big Band Era, including that of Ozzie Nelson, Charlie Barnet, Claude Thornhill, Les Brown, The Dorsey Brothers and Glenn Miller.
​
Most recently, a new era has begun. After a $10 million dollar renovation, the Glen Island Casino transformed into the Glen Island Harbour Club—Westchester's premier banquet facility—where new, everlasting memories are created.
