The Straus Historical Society Scholarship Program supports the continuing education of students whose professional goal is in the field of public service.
The Straus family has a long history of public service and philanthropy, with family members serving in government positions at the federal, state and local levels and who have acted as advisors to a number of American presidents. The Straus Scholarship Program aims to continue the family's legacy of commitment to public service and philanthropy.
Since its inception in 2017, the Straus Historical Society has awarded eighteen $5,000 scholarships, and has named nineteen honorary Straus Scholars.
We would like to continue and expand this very worthwhile program. When thinking of making a donation to a non-profit, please consider supporting the SHS scholarship program.
