DUer's "baby" wins NY Covid Vaccine Incentive Scholarship

I LOVE NY!!

My most beloved, brilliant grandbaby is a 4-year scholarship winner to any CUNY/SUNY college.

We are still floating on air here.

So many childhood sacrifices to remain safe until the vaccine was available. So many tears of joy.

Thank you, NY!
