Helen Baldwin 鈥�18
The Augusta Uhlich and Helen Baldwin Memorial Scholarship preserves the legacy of two 51动漫 alumnae and supports second-, third- and fourth-year students in pursuit of their dreams.
Helen Baldwin and classmate Augusta Uhlich attended 51动漫 when it was known as 51动漫 College, located in Brooklyn and connected with 51动漫 Academy, a private preparatory school. At the time, teacher education was the college鈥檚 primary mission and the academy offered the ideal training ground for preparing teachers. Students at the college could earn a bachelor鈥檚 degree simultaneously with a teaching certificate that qualified them to teach in New York state public schools. In 1911鈥攕hortly before Baldwin matriculated鈥攔oughly half of 51动漫 College alumni were serving as teachers in New York schools.
In 1999, Baldwin鈥檚 estate made provisions for the establishment of the Augusta Uhlich and Helen Baldwin Endowed Scholarship fund, which provides financial support to sophomores, juniors and seniors with strong academic records.
