What Is a UAlbany Legacy?

A UAlbany legacy is a student or alumnus/a who has a parent or grandparent who is a UAlbany alumnus/a.

About the Program

As a UAlbany legacy, you are part of a special tradition here at UAlbany - one of more than 800 families with two or more generations of UAlbany students. The legacy program recognizes families for their continued generational support, provides networking opportunities, and helps legacies stay connected through special programs and events. Highlights include a special welcome gift for freshmen, a legacy scholarship, an exclusive presidents' reception at Homecoming and VIP seating at commencement.

Are You a UAlbany Legacy?

If you are a UAlbany legacy, please email Melissa Samuels at the Alumni Association or call her at (518) 442-3083 to ensure that your family is included in this important program.

Legacy Scholarship Available

The Alumni Association established the Bertha Brimmer Legacy Scholarship in 2005 in honor of all our legacy families. The 2010 scholarship is open to legacy freshman who will be joining the university in Fall 2010, incoming transfer students and legacy students who are freshmen during the 2009-2010 academic year. For a scholarship application, call the Alumni Association at (518) 442-3083 or email msamuels@uamail.albany.edu. The application deadline is March 1, 2010.
