Judith M. and Francis J. Rodriguez Environmental Science Scholarship

Judith and Frank Rodriguez were members of the Friends of Ramapo for many years. Their strong involvement in civic and community service was well-acknowledged by several organizations, and their dedication to the College played an important role in the establishment of several endowed scholarships. Mrs. Rodriguez, a registered pharmacist, and Mr. Rodriguez, whose career included management and consulting positions, resided in Midland Park, N.J. Mr. Rodriguez passed away in March of 2018 while Mrs. Rodriguez died in 2020.

To demonstrate their commitment to supporting students in the sciences, they established the Judith Martinez Rodriguez and Francis J. Rodriguez Environmental Science Scholarship to recognize students pursuing a degree in Environmental Science.

“Supporting the College’s wonderful goals and encouraging students to continue their education is so important to us,” he said when he established the scholarship in 2009. “From among those students, I’m confident we’ll find leaders of tomorrow.”
