Sabrin Center for Free Enterprise Scholarship

Murray Sabrin, Ph.D., a professor of Finance, and his wife, Florence M. Sabrin, are staunch supporters of Ramapo College. They established The Sabrin Center for Free Enterprise at the College to enhance students’ understanding of the free enterprise system, offering nonprofit solutions to social issues, fostering innovation and social entrepreneurship and analyzing how government policies impact both the free market and the nonprofit sector. This will be accomplished through symposia, lectures or other events for the College community and the general public.

Through the Center, scholarships will be awarded to students who have declared a major in the Anisfield School of Business and who demonstrate academic excellence and “a commitment to the mission of the Sabrin Center.” Selection will be made by the Anisfield School of Business Scholarship Committee.

Michael J. Ricciardi Memorial Scholarship

Michael J. Ricciardi graduated from Ramapo College in 1979 with a bachelor’s degree in Business Administration. As an undergraduate Mike helped create the intramural sports program, and after graduating began working in the Roadrunner Athletics Department. He held positions as Coordinator of Athletic Equipment & Facilities and Women’s Basketball Coach under Athletic Directors Rick Myrlak and Gene Marshall, often saying that they taught him a great deal. Mike rose to the position of Athletic Director in 2007, a position he held until his death in 2010.

Mike was a volunteer for sports and youth programs in and around Hudson County, New Jersey where he grew up. He was an active member of the Saints Joseph and Michael Church sports programs in Union City, NJ. He devoted his time to Cub Scouts, Boy Scouts, and girls’ basketball, and was a certified high school referee for basketball and softball.

“Mike was tireless and steadfast in his support of student athletes,” says the remembrance page of the Ramapo College web site. “He was happiest when he was coaching, meeting informally with students, or simply sitting in the stands cheering. He is remembered as a dedicated and caring administrator, colleague, family man, and sports enthusiast.”

Holden Family Scholarship Endowment

Douglas Holden and Jean Weng are the parents of a Ramapo alum, Austin, who graduated in 2023 and was enrolled in the College’s ENHANCE program. They also have two daughters. Over the span of many years, the Holdens have long-championed the cause of students with unique abilities.

In raising their family in northern New Jersey, the Holdens were already familiar with Ramapo College when Austin attended a campus program during high school. Ramapo became the only school to which Austin applied and the family is pleased with his progress and the College’s commitment to all of its students, both in and out of the classroom.

The purpose of the Holden Family Scholarship is to assist Ramapo students with special needs in meeting tuition expenses, which can be compounded by costs associated with their special needs.
