Footstar/Meldisco Scholarship

Footstar, which operated footwear departments in K-Mart and Rite Aid stores on the West Coast, was a long-standing supporter of Ramapo College. Meldisco, a subsidiary of Footstar, was located close to the College in Mahwah, NJ. Meldisco began supporting Ramapo in 1987 and provided major support toward the construction of the College Bandshell. In 1999 the Ramapo College Foundation honored a former Footstar Chairman, Mickey Robinson, at its Distinguished Citizens Dinner. In recognition of this honor, Footstar affiliates around the world created this endowed scholarship fund at Ramapo College. The scholarship benefits students in the Anisfield School of Business.
