ouro Fraternal Association awarded $27,000 in student financial aid to seven students who are pursuing higher education degrees this academic year, including three students who received grants. After a rigorous selection process, conducted by the Student Financial Aid Committee, three applicants were each awarded $5,000 educational grants to be used in defraying the cost of their college educations. Touro increased the grant amount this year, which was formerly $3,000. The winners of the grants are: • Ilana Goldstein, daughter of Brian and Helene Goldstein of Wakefield, a sophomore at the University of Vermont who is studying linguistics. Her interests include teaching, languages and athletics. • Hannah Glucksman, daughter of Richard and Priscilla Glucksman of Cranston, a freshman at the University of Rochester who is studying biomedical engineering. She enjoys rowing, pottery and robotics.
Hannah Glucksman • Ari Berkowitz, son of Gary and Andrea Berkowitz of Barrington, a senior at Beacon College who is studying computer information systems and is a peer tutor for history and math. A regular member of Touro, he was an intern for Senator Jack Reed, enjoys politics and is proficient with many computer-based systems.
Four other students will share a total of $12,000 in interest-free loans from Touro’s Leo Greenberg Memorial Scholarship Fund. These loans, which do not accrue interest, are not repayable until six months after the student graduates or is no longer a full-time student. Since the establishment of the student grant and loan program in 1981, Touro has made financial awards to ease the cost of higher education. Regular members and their children who are enrolled in an accredited institution of higher learning are eligible to apply for the one-time $5,000 grant or the interest-free loans. Members must belong to the organization for at least two years in order to qualify.
