New Scholarship Will Aid Genesee Valley Graduates

(Nov. 2024) The family of Chantel Cline has established a scholarship in her memory.  Chantel passed away unexpectedly on March 9, 2024.

 

Chantel was a member of Angelica Central School’s last graduating class (1996) and a graduate of Corning Community College. She had been with the Allegany County Sheriff’s Office, where she was a highly regarded Emergency Services Dispatcher, since 2009.

 

This new scholarship will assist a Genesee Valley Central School senior or graduate pursuing a career in a criminal justice related field.

 

The first Chantel Cline Memorial Scholarship will be awarded in spring 2025 for the 2025-2026 academic year.
