Summer Scholarships
DON’T MISS OUT ON THE SUMMER OF A LIFETIME!
SCHOLARSHIPS ARE AVAILABLE
For Summer 2011, BBYO is introducing a new scholarship initiative to provide as many teens as possible a fun, meaningful and affordable summer. We understand that financial need is significant in many communities, and we are allocating more scholarship subsidy this year than at any point in BBYO’s history. We are committed to affordability.
Scholarship applications will be reviewed by the BBYO regional offices so that funds are disbursed with a greater knowledge of individual teens’ needs. All BBYO domestic summer experiences (CLTC, ILTC, Kallah and Summer of IMPACT), as well as ILSI in Israel, are eligible for scholarship subsidy.
The deadline is April 1, 2011, but may vary region-to-region. All scholarship awards are announced no later than May 1st. Applications can be downloaded here and should be submitted directly to your teen’s regional office.
Please contact your local BBYO professional to learn more about scholarship deadlines and the review process.
Double IMPACT Scholarships: This is your chance to make "double the impact." The Double Impact Scholarship challenges Jewish teens to perform at least 60 hours of community service between Rosh Hashanah and Passover 5771 (September 2010 – April 2011). Teens who meet the requirements will be eligible to receive a 50% scholarship towards the tuition of a domestic Summer of Impact experience and 25% towards Impact: Israel. This scholarship is open to any Jewish teen in grades 10-12. Please spread the word about this exciting opportunity. Summer of Impact programs take place in Boston, Washington, DC, the Southwest, and Israel.
