The National Jewish Welfare Board announced today the granting of four scholarships totaling $4,700 to women attending graduate schools of social work. The scholarships, named in honor of Miriam R. Ephraim, retired former director of the JWB’s national program services, are intended to help overcome the shortage of fellowships for women preparing for Jewish community and YM-YWHA service. The recipients are Ann Dresner, of Bangor, Me., Vivian Becker, of Brooklyn, Belle Likover, of Cleveland Heights, Ohio, and Joan Neufeld, of New York City.
