List of the needed assets to declare for the scholarship application can be found in the scholarship link. The primary criterion for scholarship selection is financial need. (We consider parent income/home when evaluating financial need). We also consider Jewish community involvement and community service. Scholarship award decisions are made for one academic year at a time. Applicants must reapply and re-qualify each year if they wish to be considered for funds for subsequent years. Available funding and the applicant pool vary from year to year and there is never a guarantee of an award. Application materials can also be submitted through mail.
