Jewish Scholarships for College Freshmen

I'm entering college soon and I'm curious about scholarships specifically available for Jewish freshmen. Does anyone have recommendations or lists of organizations that provide these scholarships? Any help would be much appreciated as I'm trying to plan ahead.

Hi there!

Here are few scholarships specifically available for Jewish students.

1. The Jewish Federation of Metropolitan Chicago Academic Scholarship - This is offered to Jewish students from Illinois who demonstrate significant financial need.

2. The Jewish Community Federation and Endowment Fund - This provides grants for students residing in San Francisco, the Peninsula (Sunnyvale and north), Marin and Sonoma Counties.

3. HIAS Immigrant & Refugee College Scholarship - This is provided by HIAS in Chicago and is open to immigrants or refugees. Participants must be Jewish and reside in the United States.

4. The JVS Scholarship Program - Awarded to Jewish students residing in Los Angeles who demonstrate significant financial need.

5. National Council of Jewish Women Scholarships - Available for Jewish students who identify as women and live in the Los Angeles area.

Remember, every scholarship has its own application process, deadlines, and eligibility requirements, so make sure to check the details for each one.

Additionally, also consider general scholarships and grants that do not have specific faith criteria, as they provide another excellent pool of financial resources.

Good luck with your applications!
