Graae Scholarship Fund

  In 2005, long-time Abramson board member, the Honorable Steffen Graae, passed away. Judge Graae was truly a fair, intelligent and innovative Judge, and also an inspirational and caring man. In his honor, the Abramson Foundation established the Graae Scholarship Fund in 2007. The purpose of the fund is to provide scholarships to Abramson Scholars after their first year of college.

In 2007 and 2008, the Abramson Foundation selected sixteen outstanding college students who possess the qualities Judge Graae admired in young people seeking to accomplish their educational dreams. Thank you to everyone who donated toward the Fund for second year scholarships. These are the outstanding young men and women you supported.
