Sternheimer Music Scholarship

This scholarship was first awarded in 1999. Leopold Henry Sternheimer and his wife Rosa Levin Sternheimer were business and social leaders in Jonesboro in the early days of the 20th century. They raised three children who graduated from Jonesboro High School. The Sternheimer’s granddaughter, Dr. Rosalee Greenfield Weiss, and her husband Dr. Raymond Weiss, of Teaneck, NJ, have provided this endowment at Arkansas State University in memory of Mr. and Mrs. Sternheimer and their children.
