In my final year at Hunter, I received a Rudin Scholarship. Carrying 16 credits for both those semesters meant cuting my work hours, and the money was a life-saver for me.

Years later,  I met members of the Rudin family at a New York event and was finally able to thank them for the award. It is nice to see that future nurses are still able to receive their support.
