ISRAEL STUDENT TRAVEL SCHOLARSHIPS

The UJF Israel Center, LLC 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: It is comprised of allocations from UJF 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). Subsidies range from $100 - $1500 per student. The Fall 2010 Scholarship submission period for Israel travel from January 1, 2010 to May 31, 2010 is now CLOSED. Applications are now being accepted for Spring Scholarships (travel from June 1, 2010 to December 31, 2010).
