Supporting local students as they pursue careers in science

Recently, Rechler Equity Partners proudly awarded 10 academically gifted Long Island high school students with Rechler Equity Partners Science Scholarships. The scholarship will assist the selected students in paying for some college-related expenses as they take the next steps in their educations. Since 2008, Rechler Equity Partners has offered scholarships annually to dedicated students who excel in science and have plans to pursue a college degree in a science-related field.

“Rechler Equity Partners is extremely proud to be able to help support local high school graduates looking to pursue a career in a science field,” said Mitchell Rechler, Managing Partner of Rechler Equity Partners. “Industries focused on science—including Long Island’s biotech and pharmaceutical industries—continue to grow and provide a very valuable benefit to our economy. In order to ensure future growth, these industries require a highly educated workforce, and Rechler Equity is committed to keeping our young talent right here on Long Island.”

One student from each of the following 10 high schools was awarded a $500 scholarship: Hampton Bays, Hauppauge, Hicksville, Westhampton Beach, Plainview-Old Bethpage John F. Kennedy, Amityville, Connetquot, Farmingdale, and Half Hollow Hills East and West. Each school was responsible for nominating one of its qualified students to receive the Rechler Equity Partners Science Scholarship.
