NY Federation Awards $1M in Scholarships
The UJA-Federation of New York will award $1 million in college scholarships to more than 400 students at its 19th annual scholarship presentation.
Scholarships from this year’s Rose Biller Endowment Fund range from $1,500 to $5,000 based on a student’s needs. The scholarships, for undergraduate and graduate students, will be awarded in conjunction with the Biller nonprofit career fair on Thursday.
The scholarship awards program is administered by the Hebrew Free Loan Society.
Why I became the Forward’s Editor-in-Chief
You are surely a friend of the Forward if you’re reading this. And so it’s with excitement and awe — of all that the Forward is, was, and will be — that I introduce myself to you as the Forward’s newest editor-in-chief.
And what a time to step into the leadership of this storied Jewish institution! For 129 years, the Forward has shaped and told the American Jewish story. I’m stepping in at an intense time for Jews the world over. We urgently need the Forward’s courageous, unflinching journalism — not only as a source of reliable information, but to provide inspiration, healing and hope.
Support our mission to tell the Jewish story fully and fairly.
