Pedrozo Family Scholarship for Jewish Studies

Thanks to the generous support of Dr. Alejandro Pedrozo and the Pedrozo Family we are excited to announce that we have launched the first scholorship endowment in the Global Jewish Studies Program at FIU!

The Pedrozo Family Scholarship for Jewish Studies Endowment supports students who demonstrate a strong interest in Jewish Studies and are committed to advancing their academic and professional goals in this field.

This scholarship awards up to $1,000 per academic year to help offset the cost of tuition and educational expenses.

 

Eligibility Criteria

  • Open to students enrolled in or accepted for admission to the Steven J. Green School of International & Public Affairs

  • Must demonstrate a clear interest in Jewish Studies

  • Preference is given to students enrolled in the Global Jewish Studies Certificate Program

This scholarship reflects a commitment to fostering academic exploration, cultural understanding, and leadership in Jewish Studies. Students are encouraged to apply if they are passionate about engaging with Jewish history, culture, and global issues.

I believe education about Jewish culture and its impact on history, philosophy, and the modern world is essential for understanding who we are. It matters that future generations recognize the legacy of the Jewish people and the role of Israel and Judaism in shaping contemporary society. Education is one of the most powerful ways to promote respect and meaningful dialogue across cultures. Helping students explore Jewish traditions and history helps create a more inclusive and connected world. By increasing awareness of these cultural contributions, individuals can help foster greater connection and cooperation across different communities.
