A Memorable Evening
for 98 Scholarship
Recipients
The Annual Alumni Scholarship Awards Dinner
October 17, 2002
THE SUPPORT AND GENEROSITY of the alumni and
friends of New Jersey Medical School has made
it possible for the Alumni Association to award 98
student scholarships totaling more than $130,000.
These awards provide financial assistance to students
as they pursue their educational endeavors,
including summer research positions, externships
and international health elective courses.
The following comments are from John W. Katz, MD’75, President
of the Alumni Association, NJMS.
THIS YEAR’S ALUMNI
AWARDS DINNER was the
best ever, the result of careful
planning and hard work. The
lion’s share of thanks and credit
goes to the many large and
small benefactors whose generosity
swelled the funds, and
especially to those endowing
the 44 Named Scholarships.
The students applied for the
awards with a wonderful combination
of scholarship, community
and medical school
service. Need was also a factor
in the selection process. The
Scholarship Committee reviewed
the applications, referring
its recommendations to
the Board of Trustees of the
Alumni Association for their
approval.
This year, many donors
attended the dinner, and had
the pleasure of awarding their
scholarships in person.
Following the event, all donors
received framed photos of
their awardees. It was most
gratifying for me to announce
the names of those who
received scholarships and
