Types of Scholarships Beth Jacob Offers
General Youth Scholarship
We have limited scholarship funds available. We will do our best to work with you and our community partners to acquire as much scholarship as possible. All scholarship awards will be confidentially determined by our scholarship committee. Please be in touch with Rabbi Justin or Scholarship Committee Chair Steve Ukes with any questions.
Scholarship recipients are asked to share some of their learning from the experience (anonymously if desired) with the community. This could take the form of a short write-up for the Kol Yaakov, sharing from the bimah (d’var torah or something shorter), or creating a poster that can be displayed for a short period of time.
Scholarship applications need to be submitted at least with a month’s lead time to the program registration deadline. Beth Jacob Congregation’s policy is to send money directly to the programs and not to families.
Jewish Camp Scholarship
Due to limited scholarship funds, need based camp scholarships are available for overnight Jewish camp. The deadline to apply for summer 2025 is December 30th, 2024. While we have limited scholarship funds available, we will do our best to work with you and our community partners to acquire as much scholarship as possible. All scholarship awards will be confidentially determined by our scholarship committee. Please be in touch with Rabbi Justin or Scholarship Committee Chair Steve Ukes with any questions.
St. Paul Federation Jewish Camp Scholarship
Camp scholarship applications open on Tuesday January 14 with a deadline is March 31. A new online software program for applications. Please note the following changes to the Federation’s scholarship program:
1) Day camps are now eligible for scholarships
