Six Israelis today were awarded special scholarships for study in the United States, financed by the American National Council of Jewish Women. They will spend one to two years studying in universities in the United States. Six other NCJW scholarship holders from Israel, already studying in the U.S.A., were simultaneously granted an extra year each to complete their American studies.
The new scholarship recipients are: Mrs. Miriam Schmida, head mistress of the Jerusalem Girls High School; Miss Dina Karlin, social welfare supervisor of Israeli Government hospitals; Miss Francis Bernstein, of the Ministry of Welfare; Aryeh Levy, principal of the Agricultural School of Ashkelon; Arieh Haveh, of the Nahalal Teachers College; and Mordehai Rozin, supervisor of social work in the Israeli prisons.
Welfare Minister Yosef Burg held a farewell reception for the scholarship winners and emphasized the need for specialists in education and social welfare work here “especially in view of the increased flow of immigrants into Israel.”
