Anna Shupper and Ida Reiss Memorial Scholarship Fund

About Anna Shupper and Ida Reiss Memorial Scholarship Fund

The Anna Shupper and Ida Reiss Memorial Scholarship Fund is defined by a narrow scholarship model: it makes tuition support grants to individual medical students, often through named memorial awards at specific schools. In the latest grants listed, the largest award was $12,500 to SUNY Downstate Medical School Obo S, and several $10,000 scholarships went to students at SUNY Downstate, the University of Maryland Medical School, and Temple University’s Lewis Katz School of Medicine. That pattern points to a fund that supports medical education through direct assistance rather than broader institutional grants. The fund’s recent awards also show a recurring connection to a small set of medical schools, with multiple scholarships going to Brooklyn, Philadelphia, and Baltimore programs. Recipients include named students such as Rivka Benyaminov at SUNY Downstate Medical School and Adi Kadosh at the University of Maryland Medical School. Other grants extend to osteopathic and allopathic programs, including Geisinger Medical School, NYIT College of Osteopathic Medicine, and Drexel University College of Medicine. Across the record, the fund’s giving stays centered on scholarships for individual learners in medical training.
