Contribute to the Speech-Language Hearing Sciences Doctoral

Student Fellowship

Thank you to all who have contributed and who continually contribute donation to the Speech-

Language-Hearing Sciences Doctoral Student Fellowships. The fellowships and the discretionary

funds allow the program to help students every year.

Three funds have been set up to honor three colleagues who contributed importantly to our

program: Professors Moe Bergman, Arthur Bronstein and Martin Gitterman.

The Professor Arthur J. Bronstein and Elsa Bronstein Fellowship for Excellence in Dissertation

Writing in Speech-Language-Hearing Sciences.

Moe and Hannah Bergman Scholarship for Conference Travel: The Moe and Hannah Bergman

Award makes funds available to students who travel to present research papers at conferences.

Martin Gitterman Excellence in Teaching Award: The Martin Gitterman Teaching Award gives

awards for Excellence in Teaching.

These awards are given to a number of students each year. To contribute to one or either fund,

please send a check payable to The Graduate Center Foundation. All checks should include

account number 212731. Please indicate this number as well as the name of the award in which

you want your contribution placed (e.g., Bergman, Bronstein, and Gitterman)

In addition to the above accounts the program also has a discretionary fund. The account number

for this fund is 213933 which the program is free to use at their discretion.

All checks should be made out to The Graduate Center Foundation and sent to:

CUNY Graduate Center

Attention: Development Office

365 Fifth Avenue

New York, NY 10016

Please be sure to put the account number 213933 or 212731 in the memo section of your

check.
