Undergraduate Awards for Excellence

In 2016-2017, Brandon McWhirter, a double major in Judaic Studies and Religious Studies, received both the Dr. Ruben P. Robinson Judaic Studies Scholarship and the Fern and Manfred Steinfeld Scholarship in Judaic Studies. Brandon is in his junior year at UT. He has taken a wide range of classes in Judaic Studies ranging from Early Judaism to the Holocaust to Biblical Hebrew.

Each year, the Fern and Manfred Steinfeld Program in Judaic Studies awards two scholarships: the Dr. Ruben P. Robinson Judaic Studies Scholarship and the Fern and Manfred Steinfeld Scholarship in Judaic Studies. These scholarships go to support undergraduates who are Judaic Studies majors or minors who have demonstrated exceptional academic performance.
