Do The Right Thing Scholarship Recipients

Since 1997, the Do The Right Thing of Rochester Award Program has awarded Monroe County students scholarships towards their college or trade school tuitions. To date, our program has awarded over $100,000 to more than 100 students.

Each year, any Do The Right Thing Award winner that is currently a high school senior may apply for a scholarship to be applied towards a one-time payment towards their college or trade school tuition or expenses. Typically each winner is awarded $1,000, however amount and number of scholarships awarded is dependent upon funding available each program year. 

Scholarship applications will be sent to students in the spring of their high school senior year. All winners must ensure a current address is on file with the Do The Right Thing office in order to receive an application. 

Call our office at (585) 428-7863, or email us at DoTheRightThing@cityofrochester.gov for questions, or to update your contact information.
