Daniel J. Cronin Memorial Scholarship
For students with a commitment to their fellow man and a GPA of 3.5+
“He led a life of service to others,” says Bea Cronin, Dan Cronin’s widow. While serving in the Navy in 1966, Dan suffered an injury that left him paralyzed from the waist down. In 1980 Dan enrolled at Ramapo College, where he met Bea, received a degree in 1984 and continued his education at Seton Hall University where he earned a degree in law. Dan then began a selfless career in poverty and family law serving as an attorney for Bergen County Legal Services. Upon his death in 2004, Bea Cronin, together with friends and family, created this scholarship fund to honor his life and recognize the next generation of young people devoted to the service of others.
