Lohez Cocktail
Board members, students and friends of the Jérôme Lohez 9/11 Scholarship Foundation met informally for cocktails and small bites on the rooftop of the Empire Hotel, near Lincoln Center, on Friday, April 30th, in honor of Columbia University’s virtual Commencement that morning. We thank French journalist Laura Geiss for the photos.
Covid-19 Update 2020
The Jérôme Lohez 9/11 Scholarship Programs are On Pause in 2020. As we continue to monitor developments related to the 2019 novel coronavirus (COVID-19), it is important to gather facts, take preventive measures, and plan for a variety of scenarios. The Jérôme Lohez 9/11 Scholarship Foundation has decided to pause 2020 scholarships due to the uncertainties of international student enrollments and the difficulties of international travel. We will re-open our scholarship programs in 2021 in due course.
Students from the Stevens-EPITA dual master’s degree program, Columbia University Alliance Program and Sciences Po – Fudan dual master’s program on global media and communications, and Sciences Po – Fudan dual master’s degree program on Europe, Asia, and global affairs: please follow us on Twitter and Facebook and check our web page periodically for updated news.
During this pause, the Jérôme Lohez 9/11 Scholarship Foundation will reflect, create and renew.
Generous Donation Received
A French student from the Stevens-EPITA Dual Degree Program just made the very generous and anonymous donation of $9,000 to the 9/11 Scholarship Fund. In these very unsettling times of the COVID-19 virus, forcing us to cancel our annual gala, this gift renews our faith in the human spirit, going to the core of of the foundation’s mission.
Gala Cancelled
We are very concerned about the health and well-being of our students and supporters such as you, your families and friends, in these unprecedented times of the COVID-19 pandemic, here in New York and around the world.
Our previously scheduled 15th Annual Awards Ceremony on May 11th is hereby cancelled, keeping in line with “social distancing” guidelines. However, please take this opportunity to make a donation to support our scholars.
