Helping future physicians realize their dream.

While Manny and Sylvia Weiner built a wonderful home and raised a loving family together, Manny did have one regret: he wanted to be a doctor.

Though he graduated from the pre-medical program at Louisiana State University, he was unable to attend medical school due to a combination of financial hardship and anti-semitism (strict quotas limited opportunities for Jewish students at the time). Sylvia was proud of her husband, regardless of profession, and together they thrived.

Now, this annual scholarship program has been created by their descendants, in loving memory, with the goal of helping more students achieve their dream of becoming a medical doctor, despite significant obstacles.
