An Annual Scholarship Awarded to a Deserving Cayuga-Onondaga BOCES Senior

This scholarship award will be granted yearly in memory of Michael S. Poorman, a BOCES graduate and local building contractor who passed away unexpectedly in May 2021. Mike was a longtime supporter of the Cayuga-Onondaga BOCES. He owned and operated a successful contracting company for over 30 years and hired many BOCES graduates.

This scholarship will be awarded to a Career and Technical Education student from any of the nine BOCES component school districts who best exemplifies Mike Poorman’s values of integrity, hard work, generosity, dedication, excellence, and a positive community presence. The candidate should have demonstrated commitment and achievement in their education and have plans to pursue a career or a post-secondary education in their chosen vocational field.
