Each year the NYC Department of Sanitation Emerald Society awards scholarships to children of The DSNY Emerald Society members.
Winners are selected based on the scores from the Test for Admission into Catholic High Schools (TACHS). One $1500.00 scholarship is awarded to the boy with the highest score the other $1500.00 scholarship is awarded to the girl with the highest score. $500.00 cash is then awarded to the runner up boy and girl.
