Community Scholarship Information

Many Minneapolis families are already receiving brochures for summer camp. We wanted to take this opportunity to remind you that the Minneapolis Jewish Federation awards financial need-based scholarships to children for Jewish summer residential and day camp programs.
To be eligible for scholarship funds, families must live in the greater Minneapolis area. Synagogue members are asked to apply also through their congregations for scholarship money, and, if appropriate, through other sources (Talmud Torah, JFCS, and the camps themselves) for assistance.
The deadline for Summer 2008 applications is March 28, 2008. A copy of the 2006 tax forms (or 2007 tax forms if available) must be submitted together with the application.
Application materials are available on the Federation's website at www.jewishminnesota.org. Applications should be submitted to Norma Kaplan at the Federation (13100 Wayzata Boulevard, Suite 200, Minnetonka, MN, 55305.) Any questions about the process can be directed to Norma at 952-417-2335.
