Who founded the Simon Foundation for Education and Housing?
The vision for the Simon Scholars Program came from Ronald Simon, founding chairman of the Simon Foundation for Education and Housing. A son of immigrant parents, he found success in this great country by working hard and developing a company culture that always refused to accept the status quo while firmly believing that everything can ultimately be improved through hard work, dedication, determination and education. Ron Simon achieved great business success by applying these principles and now chooses the Simon Scholars Program as a means of giving back in a meaningful way.
