Bored? Don't be. 2nd Annual Michael Perelstein Memorial Scholarship Fund (students in grades 2-8)
2nd Annual Michael
Perelstein Memorial Scholarship Fund
A $20,000 Scholarship fund
created to support New York City school children (grades 2-8) to pursue their
unique passions and talents. Michael Perelstein was a devoted dad who
watched his children pursue their passions in nontraditional fields while simultaneously
achieving financial security. Observing the paths of his kids, he realized the
importance of nurturing passion and talent and even switched careers himself to
support his own interests. Perelstein passed away at age 56; the scholarship
fund established in his honor by his wife, Elizabeth Perelstein, is built
around the concept of supporting the passions and talents of children. The
Discover Your Passion Competition will award the grand prize winner $5,000
toward his or her pursuit; three second place winners will receive $3,500, and
three third place winners will receive $1,500, for a total of $20,000.
Finalists will be selected from each of two age categories: 2nd -
5th grade; 6th-8th grade. The scholarship winners will be announced
and awarded their prizes in October in New York City. For complete information
about the scholarship and to apply see schoolchoicegroup.com.
