Grants & Scholarships

Karen & Ed Porter Summer Experience Fund

The Karen and Ed Porter Summer Experience Fund makes an annual award to Jewish high school or college student(s) seeking to participate in an approved Jewish summer travel experience, which encompasses leadership development, community development or personal Jewish enrichment. Awards are based upon merit. Financial need may be taken into consideration.

The purpose of this scholarship is to encourage students with potential, but who are marginally “connected” to the Jewish community through participation in youth group, in their congregation, in JCC programs or in Hillel or other Jewish organizations on their college campus, to consider spending the summer immersed in a Jewish environment.

Applications are due February 28
If deadline falls on a weekend, applications are due the next business day
