The Berstein Family Scholarship: Celebrating Our 2026 Recipients

New Castle, Delaware, September 9, 2026 – Nixon Medical is proud to announce the five recipients of the 2026 Berstein Family Scholarship: Ariana Gonzalez, Arianna Wilkins, Zion Geiger, Payton Fabian, and Kaylie Taylor.

Now in its second year, the Berstein Family Scholarship is helping more students take the next step toward their educational and career goals. Each 2026 recipient will receive a $2,000 scholarship to help cover tuition at an accredited college, university, or vocational-technical school.

The scholarship recognizes students who’ve distinguished themselves through academic achievement, leadership, community involvement, work experience, and a commitment to building their futures.

“When we created the Scholarship, we wanted to invest in something that could make a meaningful difference for our Associates and their families,” said Dan Berstein. “Seeing the program grow and having the opportunity to recognize five remarkable students this year is incredibly rewarding. Ariana, Arianna, Zion, Payton, and Kaylie have each worked hard to pursue their goals, serve their communities, and create exciting paths for their futures. We’re proud to support them as they take their next steps.”

Creating Opportunities for Nixon Medical Families

Established in 2025, the Berstein Family Scholarship supports the educational goals of Nixon Medical Associates’ children and reinforces the company’s mission to grow and create opportunities that enrich each other’s lives.

The scholarship is administered by Scholarship America® and made possible by the Berstein Family Fund, carrying forward values that have shaped Nixon Medical for nearly six decades.

Murray Berstein founded Nixon Medical in Chester, Pennsylvania, in 1967 as a dry-cleaning business. Since then, the company has grown into a leading provider of medical apparel and linen services exclusively for outpatient centers, while remaining 100% family-owned. Through the Berstein Family Scholarship, that commitment to growth and opportunity now extends to a new generation of Nixon Medical families.

Nixon Medical congratulates Ariana Gonzalez, Arianna Wilkins, Zion Geiger, Payton Fabian, and Kaylie Taylor on this well-deserved recognition and celebrates the hard work, ambition, and service that earned each of them a place among the 2026 Berstein Family Scholarship recipients.
