Burstein Gift To Eberly College Memorializes Parents

8-28-97
University Park, Pa. -- A gift of $50,000 from Penn State alumnus Frank Burstein and his wife, Sonia, of Elkins Park, will endow a new scholarship in the Eberly College of Science.

The Hyman and Jenny Burstein Memorial Scholarship in Science, named in memory of Frank Burstein's parents, will be funded through the proceeds from a charitable gift annuity established last December. When fully funded, the scholarship will assist up to two academically gifted undergraduate or graduate students each year.

Frank Burstein earned his bachelor's degree in premedicine from Penn State in 1949 and his medical degree from Hahnemann, and has long practiced medicine in the Philadelphia area. He currently shares a practice that is part of Allegheny Health Systems with a son, one of the couple's four children.
