Dear Agnon Alumni,
With the establishment of the Agnon Alumni College Scholarship Fund, we’re pleased to be able to offer a $1,000 scholarship. Although it has been a few years since you’ve walked the halls as a student, you remain an important part of the school’s 43-year history. We look forward to hearing from you by the May 2nd application deadline.
Laura E. Leventhal ,
Director of Development
