The Jewish Education Center of Cleveland has $13,000 available each year, to be apportioned equitably among JECC day, supplementary and early childhood affiliates "for educators to travel outside of Cleveland to attend conferences and workshops that will improve their teaching skills."
Programs considered for grant funds must be relevant to participants’ present and future goals in education and should evidence a high level of quality. Grants must be approved prior to attending a conference. Applicants will be screened for their likely willingness to share their experiences with others, and their commitment to remain in Jewish education.
Applicants may request up to one third of a proposed program’s total cost (registration, lodging, and travel). Eligibility also may be based on availability of other financial sources to the applicant.
In apportioning funds, first- time attendees may receive preference. Also, need may be considered. While most funding will be awarded for conferences with Judaic content, general studies teachers are welcome to apply for grants to attend workshops in their disciplines, and such applications will be considered, depending on monies available.

DEADLINES APPLICANTS FOR CAJE, Torah U’Mesorah AND ALL SUMMER CONFERENCES INCLUDING ISRAEL EXPERIENCES MUST SUBMIT THIS FORM BY APRIL 28, 2006.
ANY LATER APPLICANTS WILL RECEIVE GRANTS ONLY IF MONEYS REMAIN AFTER INITIAL ROUND ALLOCATIONS
