JFSA seeks applications for summer camp scholarships

The Jewish Federation of Southern Arizona is accepting applications for scholarships to Jewish overnight summer camps for the summer of 2019.

The need-based scholarship is funded by the Mo and Frances Beren Family Scholarship Fund and the Loebl Family Scholarship Fund at the Jewish Community Foundation of Southern Arizona. Any student currently attending religious school programs in Southern Arizona or Tucson Hebrew Academy is eligible to apply.

The scholarship is for any overnight Jewish camp and is meant to be combined with funding from another source:  the synagogue, camp, or other organization.  Eligible campers may also qualify for additional funding through the PJ Goes to Camp (separate application process, https://pjlibrary.org/Beyond-Books/PJ-Goes-to-Camp).

For a CJE camp scholarship application, contact Suzanne at 577-9393 or samador@jfsa.org.  The deadline for submission is Feb. 19.
