Melvin Weiner Award
Melvin Weiner was a beloved and effective peace activist, humanitarian, businessman, and a former member of the CRF Board of Directors.
In the spirit of his legacy, the CRF has introduced the Melvin Weiner Scholarship. It is a $2000 award given yearly to an applicant or nominee who, by following their passion, wants to pursue higher education, continuing education, or specialized training to expand employment opportunities. Awards may also be made to individuals to aid in their pursuit of activities or endeavors that promise significant educational or social value for them and others. When sufficient funds are available, the CRF may make an award to a second recipient, as occurred in 2015.
To be considered for the Melvin Weiner Scholarship, you may be nominated by someone else filling out and submitting the Melvin Weiner Scholarship Nomination Form. Or you may apply for yourself by filling out the Melvin Weiner Scholarship Application Form and Financial Statement.
