The Jewish Federation of Lane County
Scholarship Application

REVISED NOVEMBER 2009

Jewish Youth Experience Scholarships will financially assist and encourage young people to attend Jewish oriented conferences/events in the U.S. and in Israel.

·   Any Jewish youth age 5­–19 who resides in Lane County and is enrolled in a K–12 educational program is eligible to apply.

·   Students who wish to participate in programs that occur the summer following high school graduation will also be eligible to apply.

·   College students are not eligible for scholarships.

·   Most scholarships awarded range from $50–$200. The amount of the award is contingent on individual need, number of applicants, and availability of funds.

DUE TO LIMITED FUNDS, SCHOLARSHIPS ARE EXPRESSLY INTENDED FOR THOSE WHO COULD NOT PARTICIPATE IN A CONFERENCE OR PROGRAM WITHOUT FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE.

Please submit your application at least 3 weeks before the event/conference. No scholarship monies will be awarded without the Statement of Purpose, including a picture of the applicant. (Picture and statement may be printed in our newsletter.)

The Follow-up Form and picture should be mailed to the Federation within 2 weeks of the event/activity.
