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.

Angelo Tarallo Memorial Scholarship

The Angelo Tarallo Scholarship is awarded to students interested in working in law, international business, or international studies. Recipients must demonstrate competence in writing, which was one of Professor Tarallo?s many interests.

Angelo Tarallo was a beloved professor who taught at Ramapo for more than 10 years. During a distinguished international business career at The BOC Group, Professor Tarallo held a number of positions including chief executive-legal affairs in Windlesham, UK and president and board director in Murray Hill, NJ where he also served as chairman of the Pension Committee. While at BOC, Mr. Tarallo taught at Ramapo as an adjunct professor in Business. He joined the full-time faculty in 2002 and inspired students and colleagues with his intellect and dedication to education.

In addition to teaching, Angelo Tarallo led study abroad programs in Italy and arranged for international co-operative placements for Ramapo students. After Mr. Tarallo’s death in 2003, his family, friends and colleagues established this scholarship program to recognize students who embody his commitment to academic excellence and internationalism.
