In Woodbury, NY on November 12, 2004, Daniel Ramos and Christopher Andrade, two Manhattan College students, were awarded scholarships from the Association of Old Crows (AOC). The AOC is a nonprofit professional group, which endorses jobs in the defense industry.
The AOC awarded six senior engineering students residing in New York City, Westchester, Nassau or Suffolk counties from Manhattan College, SUNY Purchase, and Farmingdale. Daniel is a senior computer engineer who won the highest award, the Edwin A. Drogin Scholarship. He was awarded $2000. Chris, a senior Electrical Engineer was awarded $1500. This year is the fifteenth consecutive year Manhattan College Students have been awarded for academics by the AOC. Over those fifteen years, Manhattan College engineering students have won $32,000 in scholarship money.

The students needed to show financial need as well as write an essay about their plans after graduation.
