The Lucy Grassano Scholarship

The Lucy Grassano Scholarship invites one Operator from each Chapter to attend the Annual and Spring meetings at no cost as well as provide a stipend to assist with travel expenses.

Lucy Grassano was a Principal Administrative Assistant at NYCDEP. If you were to ask anyone who knew her, Lucy always went out of her way to help any of the operators she engaged with, and their respect and admiration for each other was mutual. She was a mentor, friend, teacher and “mother” to many operations staff throughout the years, providing colleagues with support and counsel through life’s personal and professional stresses. Everyone needs a coach; it is in this spirit that the scholarship was granted in her name.
