In the interest of collegiality, we want to share these community announcements with you
The Jewish Federation of Greater Houston is once again offering grants and scholarships for children seeking to attend overnight camp or to participate in trips to Israel. For all local Jewish children, the Federation provides two forms of need-based scholarships for overnight camp and Israel experiences: general financial assistance, and scholarships for campers whose families were affected by Hurricane Harvey. For families whose children are not currently enrolled in a daily Jewish educational program (such as a Jewish day school), the Federation’s One Happy Camper program offers $1,000 incentive grants that are not need-based for first-time campers attending for 19 or more consecutive days, and $700 grants for first-time campers attending for 12-18 consecutive days. For questions regarding One Happy Camper grants, contact Devorah Cohen at [email protected]. For questions regarding scholarships, contact Elizabeth Garza at [email protected] or 713-729-7000 x309.
