Scholarship Available to Support Jewish Families with Children with Autism
At age two and-a-half, Jay and Esther Goldberger's son was diagnosed with autism. Over the years, the Goldbergers were able to provide him with social and educational services offered through their school district, as well as private therapy and services that were covered by their health insurance. They knew that many other families struggled to pay for similar services. So they decided to start an endowment fund to help Jewish families provide services to their children with autism.
The Jay and Esther, Gary and Alise Goldberger Family Scholarship for Children with Autism Spectrum Disorder was established through the United Jewish Fund and Council of St. Paul to help Jewish families in the greater St. Paul area with children ages 12 months to 18 years old who have the disorder.
