ISRAEL TRAVEL SCHOLARSHIPS

The Jewish Federation Israel & Overseas Center is pleased to offer need-based scholarships for student travel to Israel. Our goal is to strengthen Jewish identity, continuity and our community’s relationship to the people and land of Israel. Please understand the following guidelines: The scholarship is comprised of allocations from Jewish Federation as well as private donations. The scholarship program has two components: The general Scholarship Fund and Synagogue Partnerships (synagogues provide matching funds to promote youth Israel travel among their congregants). These need-based scholarships have been awarded to hundreds of young people throughout the years. Subsidies are available to affiliated and unaffiliated high school and college students for approved educational programs in Israel. Applications are accepted in the fall and in the spring.

The Israel Scholarship Committee evaluates each application and awards scholarships based on established criteria (see eligibility requirements).
