Scholarship Awards

David D. Godfrey (1964-1983) Memorial Scholarship

The Godfrey Scholarship began in 1984 and is awarded to a team member who exhibits the qualities that David had.  David died, after his freshman year of college at Syracuse, of a virus that affected his heart.  The original award is hanging in the boathouse and covers years 1984-1995.  The Friends of Simsbury Crew maintains a certificate of Deposit whose interest proceeds partially fund the scholarship.
