Scholarships

The Leon N. Weiner Education Foundation Scholarship program has awarded more than $22,000 in college scholarships to aspiring students who have demonstrated initiative, talent, skill and need.

The awards help pay for books, computers, tuition, and other expenses. In 2011 we saw a significant increase in number and caliber of applicants, and as news of this program continues to grow, we expect this trend to gain momentum.
