Samuel Goldwyn Gives
$500,000 to Brandeis for
Life Sciences Studies
WALTHAM, Mass.—The Samuel
Goldwyn Foundation of Los Ange-
les has awarded Brandeis Univer-
sity a $500,000 grant to provide !
scholarships for graduate students
studying the life sciences.
Preference for the Samuel Gold-
wyn Life Sciences Scholarships will
be given to foreign-born applicants
in need of financial aid, seeking
advanced study in the United
States. Motion picture pioneer
Samuel Goldwyn, for whom the
scholarship is named, came to the
United States from Poland at age
14. He now wishes to assist deserv-
ing students who lack, as he did,
the necessary financial resources
to further their higher education.
The program will provide five
full scholarships of $7,500 each per
year. The first five are being i
awarded for the forthcoming fall
semester,
