SUNY Adirondack awards scholarships to business competition winners

SUNY Adirondack presented $200 scholarships to the top students at the 26th annual High School Business Day on May 7 in the Northwest Bay Conference Center on the Queensbury campus.

Approximately 250 students from 11 area high schools — including Bolton, Brunswick, Corinth, Granville, Greenwich, Hudson Falls, Queensbury, Saratoga Springs, South Glens Falls, Ticonderoga and WSWHE BOCES — competed in a variety of business-related tests and presentations. New additions to the program included competitions in Computer Applications/Business Formatting, General Business and Agricultural Business.

The event also incorporated programming for technology students, including a PC and Home Network Quiz Bowl and an Ethical Hacking Challenge.

First-place competition winners received $200 SUNY Adirondack scholarships, and students who placed second- through fifth-place received Amazon gift cards.

SUNY Adirondack organized the event in a partnership with the Adirondack Business Educators.
