JFSA seeks camp scholarship applications

The Coalition for Jewish Education of the Jewish Federation of Southern Arizona is accepting applications for scholarships to Jewish overnight summer camps for the summer of 2020. 

Funded by the Mo and Frances Beren Family Scholarship Fund  at the Jewish Community Foundation of Southern Arizona and the Loebl Scholarship Fund, the need-based scholarship assistance is available to all students currently attending religious school programs in Southern Arizona and to students of the Tucson Hebrew Academy. 

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 also may qualify for additional funding through PJ Goes to Camp (separate application process, https://pjlibrary.org/beyond-books/pj-goes-to-camp). 

Applications can be downloaded at www.jfsa.org/campscholarships. The deadline for submission of the CJE camp scholarship application is Feb. 20.  Contact Suzanne at 577-9393 or samador@jfsa.org.
