The Ernesto Malave Scholarship Program was created in May 2012 in memory of the late Ernesto Malave, Vice Chancellor for Budget and Finance of CUNY. Malave, a South Bronx raised Puerto Rican, unexpectedly passed away at the age of 51. His unforgettable presence at CUNY, where he rose from the bottom up to positions of great responsibilities, marked by legacy of 30 years of leadership, service and loyalty. He was unwavering in his commitment of assuring access to students of Puerto Rican descent attending The City University of New York. The scholarship’s mission is to identify, nurture and prepare the Puerto Rican leaders for the next generation. The scholarship award is based on financial need and awarded to students in good academic standing, who also devote time and service within the community. In Vice Chancellor Jay Hershenson’s words: “Malave was an example to all those who believe in the power of education to change lives. He was a Puerto Rican from the Bronx who exceeded many challenges and his achievements are an example of the success stories of CUNY.”
