Abbey Duncan Brownfield Scholarship Program
Named in honor of an avid environmentalist, talented dancer, and tireless community supporter, the Abbey Duncan Brownfield Scholarship Program is an annual program designed to provide financial support to undergraduate and graduate students pursuing careers in the brownfield industry in New York City. Brownfields are properties where redevelopment is complicated by the presence or potential presence of environmental contamination.
