Scholarship Funds

SHERP students benefit from the generosity of the Kavli and Felsten Fishman Family foundations, as well as individual donors to the William E. Burrows SHERP Scholarship Fund.

Burrows SHERP Alumni Scholarship Fund

The Burrows SHERP Alumni Scholarship Fund, named for our founding director, the celebrated aerospace journalist William E. Burrows, provides vital tuition-remission scholarships for deserving SHERP students, based on need and achievement. Every cent goes to scholarships; there is no administrative overhead. Contributions are tax-deductible to the fullest extent permitted by law.

Supporters may contribute online via this secure site or send a check made out to New York University with “Deposit to Burrows SHERP Scholarship Fund, Journalism” in the lower left corner. Mail to NYU Gift Processing Center, 547 LaGuardia Place, New York, NY 10012. Questions? Contact us at sherp.journalism@nyu.edu.
