The Allen and Ruth R. (Sadick) Rubin ’52 Endowed Scholarship to Honor Their Parents

Criteria: (Amount Equal to Two Full Annual Tuition Award) The Allen and Ruth R. (Sadick) Rubin ’52 Scholarship will be awarded to an undergraduate student in the Education Department who is majoring in Elementary Education. The applicant must have a grade point average of 3.0 or higher. An essay should accompany the scholarship application and this essay should express the applicant’s scholarly achievement and desire to serve as a teacher. Consideration will be given to those candidates who show financial need.

Allen and Ruth R. (Sadick) ’52 Rubin established this endowed scholarship fund as a tribute to their parents, Harry and Lena Rubin and Moses and Sara Sadick.

Although they themselves never had the opportunity to further their education, both sets of parents established successful small businesses in Worcester. They taught their children the value of hard work and motivation. And they inculcated in their children the belief that a good education would open the doors to a better way of life.

“We are establishing this scholarship to honor our parents, who were so generous and supportive as we pursued our education,” said Ruth Rubin.

“It’s a way of giving back,” added Allen Rubin. “Our parents were there to encourage us, and if we can help some needful person who is motivated and ambitious, then that is a way of honoring our parents’ memory.”

This award will create a living memorial to the Sadick and Rubin families and will allow their name to be remembered by future generations of students who will benefit from this award.
