Deadlines to apply for scholarships administered by The Oregon Jewish Community Foundation are coming up soon. Visit www.ojcf.org and select “Receive a Scholarship” for guidelines and application materials.

Applications for Jewish Enrichment/Campership scholarships from the Kailes Family Scholarship are due April 15.  Albert R. Kailes established this fund in 1991. Applicants must be Jewish, a resident of Oregon and demonstrate financial need.

The Kailes fund also provides scholarships for higher education, for which applications are due May 1. To be eligible for this scholarship, the applicant must be a Jewish resident of Oregon and demonstrate financial need. The post-high school educational institution must be in Oregon.

May 1 is also the deadline to apply for the Rebecca and Sada Tarshis Memorial Scholarship Fund, which provides tuition assistance to Oregon resident Jewish students for higher education on the basis of financial need and academic merit.

May 1 is also the deadline for students seeking scholarships for Jewish day schools and summer enrichment programs from the Arthur Krichevsky Memorial Scholarship Fund. Summer programs (excluding camp), academic year and day school scholarships are funded through this fund. Students in the Oregon Board of Rabbis’ Teen Israel Experience should contact their synagogue; they do not apply directly to the Krichevsky Fund.
