Scholarships for High School Students Taking Trips to Israel

The Durham-Chapel Hill Jewish Federation encourages high school students to visit Israel through a limited number of $1,000 scholarships for students who wish to participate in summer or year-long programs. Interested students, whose parents are contributing members to the Jewish Federation, may apply to the Israel Scholarship Committee. Applicants who have not visited Israel will be given preference. The application deadline is April 1, 2013. Click here to download an application.

The Israel Scholarship Program is funded by the Sara and E.J. Evans Israel Experience Endowment of the Jewish Community Foundation and supported by the Ochsman family of Washington, D.C.
