Jake and Ruth Superstein Leadership Scholarship

The Jake and Ruth Superstein Leadership Scholarship is awarded annually to an Alberta high school graduate entering the first year of an undergraduate degree program at the University of Alberta. Recipients will be chosen on the basis of exceptional leadership qualities and social conscience as demonstrated by involvement in community service and/or charitable organizations as well as admission average. Preference is given to students with indicated financial need. This endowed scholarship was established by Wes, Shelley, Daniel and Shana Alexander in honor of Jake Superstein, member of the Board of Governors of the University of Alberta (1986 to 1992) and his wife, Ruth Grabow-Superstein, to commemorate their 50th wedding anniversary in 1994.
