Thomas J. Kilcullen Memorial Scholarship

Thomas J. Kilcullen was a beloved father and husband who served as a police officer and chief at several SUNY schools before his passing. 

One of Thomas’s favorite parts of his job was interacting with students on campus and he loved connecting with the communities he served. Thomas particularly enjoyed participating in the Special Olympics torch run and helping the special needs community.

This scholarship aims to honor Thomas J. Kilcullen’s life by supporting a criminal justice or social work student who demonstrates leadership, kindness, and respect for all.

Any student in New York who is pursuing criminal justice, social work, or a similar field may apply for this scholarship. Students who have volunteering experience within the special needs community are strongly encouraged to apply.

To apply, tell us how you plan to use your degree to connect with the communities you serve.
