Livingston Foundation adds scholarships The Bureau of Jewish Education has received a second gift of $10,000 for "Livingston Scholarships" from the Milton S. and Corinne N. Livingston Foundation. The gift is to fund the scholarships for the year 1989. The Livingston Scholarships were first established on a trial basis by the Trustees of the Livingston Foundation in 1988, in direct reqxnae to an article in The Jewish Press outlining the need for scholarship funds. The original grant was made without a formal request to the Foundation Board, and was approved by the Trustees on their own initiative in hopes that other members of the community would follow suit in providing much needed scholarship funds. At that time, Jule Newman, president of the Foun-
dation, stated that if there about one-third of them. is a demonstrated ongoing "The demands placed need, the Trustees will con- upon our scholarship funds sider continuing these funds have C(mtinued to increase,'' for future years.

Mr. Richards stated that the grant is in keeping with the Livingston Foundation's policy of trying to meet the "special needs" of the community when adequate funds are not available from other sources.
