Helen Baldwin ’18
The Augusta Uhlich and Helen Baldwin Memorial Scholarship preserves the legacy of two Â鶹´«Ã½Ó³» alumnae and supports second-, third- and fourth-year students in pursuit of their dreams.
Helen Baldwin and classmate Augusta Uhlich attended Â鶹´«Ã½Ó³» when it was known as Â鶹´«Ã½Ó³» College, located in Brooklyn and connected with Â鶹´«Ã½Ó³» Academy, a private preparatory school. At the time, teacher education was the college’s primary mission and the academy offered the ideal training ground for preparing teachers. Students at the college could earn a bachelor’s degree simultaneously with a teaching certificate that qualified them to teach in New York state public schools. In 1911—shortly before Baldwin matriculated—roughly half of Â鶹´«Ã½Ó³» College alumni were serving as teachers in New York schools.
In 1999, Baldwin’s estate made provisions for the establishment of the Augusta Uhlich and Helen Baldwin Endowed Scholarship fund, which provides financial support to sophomores, juniors and seniors with strong academic records.
