Israel Scholarships
 Academic Scholarships

The Israel Scholarship Committee of the Foundation for Jewish Philanthropies administers a
limited amount of financial assistance for high school and college students to travel and study in Israel.  Students participating in approved programs will be eligible for assistance for the upcoming summer based upon financial need.  Over the past eighteen years, over 105 students have been recipients of grants totaling $81,000.

Scholarships will be awarded from individual endowment funds, which have been established by
donors for this special purpose.  The Foundation administers the following funds, which provide
Israel scholarships:

 
 

  • Jeannette and Sydney S. Abzug Fund

  • Dr. Nathan and Toby Ticktin Back Fund

  • Hyman and Ruth Benatovich Memorial Fund

  • Bunis Family Fund

  • Joseph and Anna Gartner Foundation Fund

  • Dr. Irwin and Sylvia Ginsberg Fund

  • Mildred and Jack Haniford Fund

  • Milton J. Hurwitz Fund

  • Dvorah and Donald Joseph Fund

    •

  • Joel and Norman Katz Memorial Fund

  • Mary F. Levine Fund

  • Lila and Shay Mintz Fund

  • Nobel Family Fund

  • Harvey and Nancy Schiller Fund

  • Anna Schwartz Memorial Fund

  • Howard and Leslie Zemsky Israel Experience Fund

    •
   
 

Donors have the satisfaction of helping young people have an experience of a lifetime and seeing the income from their gift used year after year for countless students into the future.  Such funds are dedicated in the donor's name or to honor or memorialize loved ones.  Donors may also designate qualifications for scholarship recipients; i.e., members of a particular temple or students at a particular school.

The goal of the Israel Scholarship Committee is to encourage participation of our young people in structured and supervised programs of travel to Israel under Jewish organizational auspices.  Applications will be reviewed by a volunteer committee composed of members active in religious and communal institutions in the area and grants will be awarded on the basis of three factors: financial need, demonstrated Jewish commitment and the potential to make a contribution to the Jewish community.
