JEWISH IDENTITY AND ISRAEL TRAVEL PROGRAM SCHOLARSHIP

In July, 1980, the Jewish Community Federation Endowment Fund approved a Comprehensive Financial Aid Program for Israel Experiences which was developed to demonstrate that an Israel learning opportunity can and should be an integral part of the Jewish education experience. The uninterrupted funding of the Program reflects our community’s commitment to make Israel learning experiences available to all Jewish youth. All financial aid applications are held in strict confidence and the review process is anonymous.

To be eligible to receive financial aid, the applicant must:

• Demonstrate family financial need.
• Be a resident of Cleveland.
• Be a high school or undergraduate college student.
• Participate in a JECC-approved Israel Learning Experience.
• Be a first or second-timer to Israel

Approved Programs include:

• 8th Grade Day School or Cleveland Hebrew Schools Trip to Israel
• Summer Teen and College-age Experiences in Israel
• High school in Israel
• Undergraduate college/university programs in Israel
• Seminary and Yeshivot studies in Israel

Greater Cleveland families demonstrating financial need may qualify for a grant, a loan or a combination of the two. Applications are available by contacting Helen Wolf at the JECC 216-371-0446 or by email at hwolf@jecc.org
