Harold Rothman Business Scholarship

Adam Rossen comes from a line of entrepreneurs dating back to his great-grandfather, but one that made an everlasting impact was his grandfather Harold Rothman. Harold started his own business after returning home from military service in 1946. His intuition and ingenuity allowed his company to grow from a small operation in the Bronx to the tri-state area. The foresight and savviness are what shape people like Adam and Harold and hopefully every applicant of the Harold Rothman Business Scholarship.
