History
The Rudenstine Scholarships are given in honor of the family of Mae and Harry Rudenstine, whose three sons attended Wooster School on similar scholarships and have gone on to distinguish themselves both by their accomplishments and their contributions to society. The eldest son, Neil, is the former President of Harvard University and current Chair of the Board of Directors of the New York Public Library. His brother David was the Dean of and is currently a Professor of Law at Benjamin N. Cardozo School of Law in New York City. The youngest brother, Roy, was an architect with the firm of Bevins Consultants in Chicago before his untimely death in 1992. All three Rudenstine boys were recipients of scholarships to Wooster and the Rudenstine Scholarships are designed to afford the same opportunity to deserving young people today.
Wooster School is an independent, co-educational college preparatory day school, serving students from Fairfield and Westchester Counties. Located in Danbury, Connecticut, the School serves students from Pre-K through grade 12. A leader in classroom innovation and teaching, Wooster School is a place where thinking and learning are personal, meaningful, and visible; and where faculty work closely with students in small classes and cohorts to think and communicate critically and creatively. At Wooster, every student participates, every student contributes, and every student learns and develops the necessary skills to be a life-long learner and leader in college and life beyond.
