“I’m so thankful I’ve been able to use my quality education to succeed in the business world,” Tzvi Odzer said. “My goal is to encourage others to reach their full potential. Many students aren’t able to attend the caliber of the university they desire, because it’s out of budget. We’re working to eliminate that issue for our scholarship winners.”
