To perpetuate the memory of Louis P. Fiedler and honor Saerree K. Fiedler, parents whose values have been an example to their family and the community, their children have established this Scholarship Fund for students who wish to study and/or travel in Israel. A limited number of $500 merit scholarships are available for Chicago area students.
