Steve Belson Memorial Scholarship Fund College Incentive Award Program

Steve Belson was a Rockaway Lifeguard for 10 years. He went on to become a New York City Firefighter. Steve made the ultimate sacrifice on September 11th, 2001. “Bells will always be remembered as one of Rockaway’s bravest Lifeguards.” This college assistance fund was established to provide aid to lifeguards who work anywhere on the Rockaway Peninsula and are currently attending college. The fund will grant ten $1000 college incentives awards this year.
