The Scholarship

The Ride for Chiropractic will result in a new scholarship fund, the Samuel & Sandra Berkowitz Memorial Scholarship, named after the parents of an unsung hero in chiropractic – Robert Berkowitz, D.C.

In the early 1980's, Sherman College of Straight Chiropractic faced severe financial difficulties and its future was in question. Dr. Berkowitz generously provided hundreds of thousands of dollars in unsecured interest-free loans from his retirement fund.

The story is a happy one because Sherman College has survived and thrived, and still graduates highly-qualified students to bring the message of chiropractic to people everywhere.

Without Dr. Berkowitz's infusion of capital, we would have had one less institution to fulfill the mission of spreading chiropractic to every household.

We want to honor and further his contribution to chiropractic by making it possible for more students to pursue this wonderful profession.
