Fred and Florence Thomases Scholarship

Ramapo College benefited from the foresight and commitment of two long- time Bergen County residents, Fred and Florence Thomases. Mrs. Thomases was a member of the founding Ramapo College Board of Trustees, entrusted with the mission of creating Ramapo College and finding it a home.

Fred Thomases was a textile industry executive, internationally known for his innovations. He was a leader in the community, serving as a trustee of Temple Emanu-El in Englewood, the New Jersey Jewish Community Center on the Palisades in Tenafly, and as a National Board Member of American ORT, an international Jewish organization focused on technological and vocational education. Mr. Thomases died in 2000 and his wife 11 years later, but through this scholarship they leave a legacy of their commitment to education.
