The Straus Historical Society publishes a semi-annual newsletter with historical articles, society news and events, and other noteworthy information. In August 2021, the SHS newsletter featured a front page article about the 2021 Straus Scholarship recipients, as well as the application essays they each submitted. These essays figured heavily into the award committee's decision and are a wonderful representation of the winners and their accomplishments.
