Greenberg Scholarship Fund

The Greenberg scholarship fund was established through generosity of Aaron and Zelda Greenberg and honors Aaron Greenberg’s legendary commitment to S&T. He was one of the Miner Alumni Association’s most dedicated members, serving as an admissions ambassador, public resource ambassador and class coordinator. Aaron rarely missed a Homecoming or annual spring scholarship banquet. He and sister Zelda established this memorial endowment to support the excellence of student education and advancement in his home department and alma mater.
