Israel Experience Scholarships Available

Financial support is available to Hamilton/Burlington/Oakville area students intending to participate in extended programs in Israel in 2010. The Ralph Travis Israel Experience Scholarship Fund was created to honor the life, generosity and memory of Ralph Travis; a community member who was truly devoted to Israel and to strengthening Jewish identity in our community’s children.

The scholarship is awarded as an entitlement to Jewish students from the Hamilton/Burlington/Oakville area, sixteen years or older, enrolling in recognized Israel Experience programs. Applications for other education programs in Israel may be considered on an individual basis.

The scholarship may have a value of up to $500 per student, depending on the number of applications and availability of funds. Participating families are expected to be in good standing with United Jewish Appeal.
