The Jewish Community Foundation of Greater Hartford last week announced that Andrew Robbins of Simsbury earned $4,000 in scholarship monies from the Jonathan Seth Kronick Memorial Scholarship and the Foundation’s Dr. Leizor and Barbara Kessel Scholarship Funds.  

Robbins, a lifelong resident of Simsbury, is a rising senior at Case Western Reserve University with a double major in biochemistry and music. 

“We are pleased to award this scholarship to Andrew,” says Michael Elfenbaum, vice president of Grant Programs at the Jewish Community Foundation of Greater Hartford. “The Scholarship Committee was impressed with his achievements and felt he was an ideal candidate, especially for the Kronick scholarship that was established by Allen and Judy Kronick in memory of their son, Jonathan, who was particularly interested in technology and music.”  

“I deeply appreciate the Foundation’s generosity in supporting my education,” said Robbin, the son of Karen Elise Robbins of Simsbury and Daniel Donshik of Lakewood Ranch, Florida. “During a time of unexpected need, the Foundation’s support made a real difference and I’m truly grateful.”
