An award of $1,000 and an inscribed award.
Two tuition-free courses at Adelphi University.

Adelphi University library privileges.
An invitation to attend a dinner in honor of a leading scholar, artist or political figure who is visiting Adelphi during the 2019-20 academic year.
Griffin was nominated for the New York State Senate Youth Leadership Recognition Award by the Sacred Heart Academy guidance office. She was honored by State Sen. Kevin Thomas with a certificate for her exceptional academic accomplishments and leadership skills.
