Dr. Robert Schultz Memorial Scholarship Fund

The Dr. Robert J. Schultz Memorial Scholarship Fund is being established to assist students of Farmingdale, NY in their pursuit of higher education.

 

Dr. Schultz passed away on January 29, 2022. His sudden death is a devastating loss to his wife Laura, his children Karen and Kevin, their respective spouses John and Miranda, his grandchildren Bobby and Caroline, as well as his friends, colleagues, and neighbors.

 

Dr. Schultz left a lasting impact on every student who crossed his path over his 39 years of service to Farmingdale schools. He often was surprised and pleased to encounter former students who recognized him around town decades after he had taught them. He was passionate about education and dedicated himself to helping students achieve their goals both in the classroom and in their personal lives. His commitment to his students extended into his career as an administrator, as he showed that same level of dedication to the faculty and administration that he led in the Farmingdale School District.

 

He also had a tireless love and devotion to his family that drove him throughout his life. While he taught English at Howitt Middle School he taught love, kindness, respect, and the value of education to his children and grandchildren, qualities that will continue to live on through them.  

Following his career in education, Dr. Schultz was deeply involved in community and civic groups in Syosset, where he resided for 44 years. He was a board member for Residents for a More Beautiful Syosset, where he used his passion for gardening to improve his local community. He was also active in the Syosset-Woodbury Rotary Club. 

 

To honor Dr. Schultz's memory and continue his legacy of promoting education and community involvement, we are partnering with the Farmingdale School District to establish this scholarship fund aimed at assisting Farmingdale students with similar passions who are pursuing higher education. Once we have more details finalized regarding the administration of the scholarship, we will share them in an update.  We thank you for your donation to the Dr. Robert J. Schultz Memorial Scholarship Fund.
