The Dolph Rotfeld Scholarship
WCAMPWA has established a new scholarship to honor long time member and influential leader in the engineering field in Westchester.
The Dolph Rotfeld Scholarship has been created to honor the legacy of the late Dolph Rotfeld. This scholarship recognizes Mr. Rotfeld’s contributions, dedication, and longtime support of Westchester municipalities. The scholarship has a high standard and considers college juniors and seniors in civil engineering with a 3.0 GPA looking to pursue a career in Public Works.
Mr. Rotfeld epitomizes the mission of WCAMPWA as he mentored many young engineers over the years and could always be counted on to help them develop their careers. One of his primary goals was to assist municipal officials and their Public Works Departments in many communities to achieve solutions to a variety of infrastructure, sewage and drainage issues. As a member of WCAMPWA for many years, Dolph shared a bond with the Public Works Officials and had lifelong friendships with many who served in the municipalities where he worked.
