Carey Gabay Fellowship (CGF)
The Carey Gabay Fellowship is a paid two-year, full-time legal fellowship program created in honor of Carey Gabay, the former assistant counsel of the New York Governor’s Office. The chosen Carey Gabay Fellow will work directly with the counsel to the Governor staff on the issues and policy areas that Carey championed throughout his career: violence prevention, economic equality, and community development.
As part of a generous benefits package, the incoming Carey Gabay Fellow will earn an annual salary of $72,765, and commit to serving their role in Albany, NY for the duration of the two-year program. The first year of the Carey Gabay Fellowship entails participation alongside the Empire State Fellows program, to include bi-weekly evening classes and additional career development sessions. The successful awardee must be a mid-career attorney (at least five years of post-bar experience) who, like Carey Gabay, is committed to public service, hails from an economically disadvantaged background, and most importantly, embodies the integrity and kind-heartedness that distinguished Carey personally.
Carey Gabay Memorial Scholarship (CGMS)
The Carey Gabay Foundation is honored to present the “Carey Gabay Memorial Scholarship Program” which was contrived through the joint efforts of Governor Cuomo, the State of New York, and the CGF. The CGMS Program was Inspired by the life story of Carey Gabay who strived toward, and achieved academic excellence despite the pitfalls of poverty and resource constraints. The recipients of this scholarship will receive completely funded tuition, in addition to room and board toward any SUNY college of choice. Those eligible will ultimately be chosen on the basis of academic and individual merits of excellence that best exemplify the values and academic distinctions of Carey Gabay.
Carey Gabay Municipal Forum Education Fund (CGMFEF)
The Carey Gabay Forum Education Fund is a scholarship fund created by the Municipal Forum of New York. The goal of the CGMFEF is to commemorate Carey’s model example of scholarly achievement while inspiring other New York City high school graduates to make lasting contributions to their community. The endowment, which was produced within the Urban Leadership Fund, will fund an excellence award to a summer intern within the ULF program.
Academic Book Endowment Initiative (ABEI)
By leveraging unique partnerships and additional resources, the Carey Gabay Foundation assists students matriculated through any college within New York State (with emphasis on CUNY and SUNY institutions) to receive free textbooks for any and all courses throughout a semester. All accepted applicants who receive textbooks through the initiative may reapply on a per semester basis to receive continued assistance.
