The
Broome & Allen Scholarship was founded
over 60 years ago by a group of Sephardic businessmen
determined to provide a summer vacation to children
who otherwise would not be able to escape the
hot and humid New York City summers. Over the
years, the fund has enabled hundreds of children
to enjoy their summer vacations far from the city's
heat. As times and circumstances changed, however,
the scholarship evolved accordingly.
Today,
the Broome & Allen Scholarship provides
grants to undergraduate and graduate students
of Sephardic heritage and students concentrating
in Sephardic studies. Each recipient of a Broome
and Allen Scholarship is part of an elite group
from three continents who have been awarded this
grant for tuition assistance in their academic
studies as a result of their outstanding scholarship
and community service; over one hundred grants
have been awarded since 2004.
Criteria:
The
Broome & Allen Scholarship is awarded
to students of Sephardic origin or those working
in Sephardic studies. High School seniors, undergraduate
and graduate degree candidates as well as those
doing research projects will be considered. It
is awarded for one year and must be renewed for
successive years. The student or researcher does
not have to be living in the United States or
be a U.S. citizen, but should be doing their studies
or work in the U.S.
