The Fred Polischuk Memorial Scholarship Fund offers children of the company’s workers the opportunity to seek education from an approved post-high school institution.
About Fred Polischuk Memorial Scholarships Fund
In 2014, the Fred Polischuk Memorial Fund Scholarship was established in Fred Polischuk’s honor, who created R&S United Services. With a concentration on new hi-rise building construction and design-build construction services, R&S is a top supplier of HVAC services in New York.
Avi Polischuk, a mechanical engineering bachelor’s degree holder from George Washington University, has owned R&S United Services since 2000. He donates to numerous nonprofit organizations, such as the Smile Train, in an effort to give back to the communities that have supported him. Additionally, in memory of his father, Fred Polischuk, who founded R&S United Services, Avi Polischuk established the Fred Polischuk Memorial Scholarship Fund (FPMSF).
Every day, the workers at R&S realize Fred’s aim of building some of New York City’s most iconic skyscrapers. We started the Scholarship Fund as a tribute to the founder of our business and as a way to thank the hard-working families who make it successful.
