The Maritime College at Fort Schuyler Foundation recently received a $2,000 Departmental Assistance Grant from Gulf Oil Foundation. School officials said the grant will be used for the Education Development Program of the College.
The purpose of Departmental Assistance Grants is to further special projects proposed by specific departments in colleges and universities. In addition to department assistance grants, other phases of Gulf's Aid to Education Program include undergraduate scholarships, graduate fellowships, employee gift matching, capital grants, and various special grants.
The check was presented to Adm. Sheldon H. Kinney, president of State University of New York Maritime College, by Donald C. Krom, Marine Department of Gulf Trading and Transportation Company. Mr Krom is a 1959 graduate of the Maritime College.
