To honor the Einstein’s heritage and longstanding connection with Yeshiva University, a group of alumni and friends came together to establish the Einstein-YU Endowed Scholarship.
To further expand the impact of this endowed scholarship, the fund remains open to new donations. Alumni and friends can contribute any amount to the endowed fund and with the matching, all donations will be matched dollar to dollar up to $250,000, doubling the impact of a collective fundraising effort.
Envision the following matching scenarios in honor of this legacy. Combined with matching, an endowed scholarship of:
- $100,000 will generate $5,500 annually and will help reduce student indebtedness.
- $200,000 will generate $11,000 annually in scholarship support. A scholarship at this level increases the average need-based aid award given currently by nearly 40%.
- $300,000 will generate $16,500 annually, doubling the magnitude of our current average need-based aid student scholarship.
- $500,000 will generate $27,500 annually. This level of scholarship funding has historically been the “tipping point” that makes us competitive with our peer institutions and helps to attract Einstein’s top applicants.

Endowed fund administration: Einstein follows the terms of the New York Prudent Management of Institutional Funds Act (“NYPMIFA”), which allows Einstein to expend amounts from its endowment funds even when market values decline below the endowment funds’ historic dollar values. The College would act prudently in determining the amount to so expend, taking into account several factors enumerated in NYPMIFA such as the purpose and preservation of the fund, the needs of the institution, general economic conditions, expected earnings, and the availability of other resources. No changes would be made as to how the funds are to be used.
