Scholarships available for BBYO alumni?

I'm part of BBYO and I'm considering my college options. Are there any scholarships offered specifically for students who are alumni of the BBYO program?

Yes, there are scholarships that are specifically designated for BBYO alumni. BBYO works in partnership with organizations like the Jewish Community Foundation to offer scholarship opportunities. The Foundation has various scholarships specifically for Jewish students that a BBYO alumnus might qualify for.

The Jewish Federation of Metropolitan Chicago also offers academic scholarships to Jewish students, and BBYO involvement can be advantageous in applying for these scholarships.

Local BBYO chapters often have contacts or partnerships with local Jewish community organizations or foundations offering scholarships, so be sure to inquire there as well.

Furthermore, many colleges have Hillel houses or Jewish Student Unions which may provide their own scholarships to students who are active in Jewish life on campus or in their community, so definitely explore those avenues once you've selected a college.

Beyond looking at scholarships specifically for BBYO alumni, I recommend utilizing search platforms like Appily to find additional scholarships that match your unique profile. You can refine these searches based on other aspects of your profile, like location, academic achievements, interests, and more.

To increase your chances of earning scholarships, be sure to start your search early, follow all application instructions, and submit applications by their due dates. Remember that even smaller scholarships can significantly contribute towards your college expenses. Best of luck with your college applications and scholarship search!
