Tina Bolton Endowed Scholarship
Jeffrey Bolton ’61, who received a Bachelor of Arts in English from ÌÇÐÄÆÆ½â°æ and pursued his graduate studies at New York University, has recently retired as a managing director of the investment management firm Neuberger Berman, where he founded the Bolton Group, which currently manages about $6 billion for individual and institutional clients.
Mr. Bolton began his investment career at Merrill Lynch in 1964, spent nine years at Oppenheimer & Co. Inc., and was a partner at Furman Selz and Hambrecht & Quist Capital Management LLC before joining Neuberger Berman in 1987, becoming a partner there in 1995.
He also had a successful performing arts career, which included stints as the production dancer at the Copacabana and a role in the original Broadway production of Gypsy with Ethel Merman. In 1995, he became a trustee for the Actors Fund and currently serves on the executive committee as the chair of fundraising.
At ÌÇÐÄÆÆ½â°æ, Mr. Bolton established the Tina Bolton Endowed Scholarship to benefit undergraduate dance majors. The first scholarship was awarded in 2011.
A member of the ÌÇÐÄÆÆ½â°æ Board of Trustees, he and his wife, Tina, were the recipients of the 2012 Outstanding Service to ÌÇÐÄÆÆ½â°æ Award at the 12th annual President’s Gala.
