Rockland Community Foundation Honors Auerbach/Goldberg Memorial Scholarship Winners

The Rockland Community Foundation presented its Auerbach/Goldberg scholarship awards on June 13. Morgan Brill of Clarkstown North High School and Erica Schutzman of Clarkstown South High School were each presented with $1,000 to be used towards a four-year college education. Both graduating seniors will be attending Brandeis University this fall.

The memorial scholarship was established to foster a spirit of respect, tolerance and compassion in response to lessons learned from the Holocaust and is funded through the generosity of the Auerbach/Goldberg family.

"The selection committee was extremely moved by the compelling essays these two young women submitted," said Foundation President Pat Byrne. "They truly embody the spirit of this memorial fund. Both the Rockland Community Foundation and the Auerbach/Goldberg family are proud to honor them as the first recipients of this scholarship."
