The Howard Steven Feffer Memorial Scholarship is a lasting legacy given in loving memory of Howard Steven Feffer, who sadly passed away at the young age of 19 from a brain tumor in 1982. The $2,000 scholarship is funded by Howard’s sister Judith Feffer and it is administered by Lappin Foundation. Judith Feffer will make the final decision about the scholarship recipient.

The scholarship is need-based and will be awarded annually to a Jewish high school student who is:

• Jewish
• Graduating high school by June 30, 2027
• A permanent resident in Lappin Foundation’s North Shore service area or whose immediate family is a member of a temple in Lappin Foundation’s North Shore service area
• Planning to attend a college, university, trade school or continuing education
• A student in good standing

The money will be sent directly to the institution of higher learning that the scholarship recipient plans to attend. Recipients may request the continuation of the scholarship in years to follow if they maintain a 2.8 average.

Two items must be submitted to be considered for a scholarship:

1. A completed application, which is due by May 21, 2027.
2. A character reference letter written by someone who can attest to the applicant’s character. The letter should not be written by a family member or friend. The letter should be submitted to natasha@lappinfoundation.org by May 21, 2027.

The scholarship recipient must submit their final high school transcript and a copy of the college/university tuition bill prior to the scholarship funds being sent directly to the institution of higher learning.
