INTRODUCTION: The Louis D. Traurig Scholarship Trust at B’nai Israel provides scholarships to students from the Greater Waterbury Area to help defray the cost of college or graduate school education. Founded in 1988 by the late Rose & Edward Traurig, more than 200 scholarships have been distributed over $400,000. The Traurig Scholarship alumni now bring their talents to a host of fields including health care, law, education, arts, clergy and business. Several have also entered young leadership positions within the Jewish community. Factors and data weighed by the committee include a candidate’s academic achievement, extra-curricular activities, community involvement, character, quality of essays, and financial need.
