Scholarship Impact:

My name is Jas Stuchel ’25. I am a senior theatre arts major with a minor in education at Hartwick. I received the Dorothy and Eva Newton Rowe Scholarship this year. This scholarship is a perfect example of the unique funds at Hartwick. It shows the profound impact of a Hartwick experience and its results. The scholarship was established in 1996 through an estate gift by Jeannette Ingham “Trot” Waterman. Dorothy Rowe was the daughter of a graduate of Hartwick Seminary, Eva Newton Rowe, who graduated in 1891. Dorothy was a good friend of Jeannette Waterman and a generous supporter of Hartwick College until her death in 1983. Her lifetime gifts to the College came close to $90,000. Jeanette and Dorothy served on the Citizen Board for many years and shared a deep love for the Yager Museum. After Dorothy’s death, Jeanette continued her support of Hartwick College and her lifetime gifts to the College totaled over half a million dollars. She established this scholarship through a gift in her will.
