Youth Scholarship Program

To be considered for a Jewish Summer Camp or Israel Program scholarship, applicants must be residents of Dutchess County and up to 18 years old.

Upon completing their camp or Israel experience, scholarship recipients (ages 8 and up) will be asked to share one or two photos and write a one-page essay about their experience. This essay may be published in The Voice and possibly featured on our website and social media.

Many camps offer additional support. First-time campers and their parents are encouraged to explore resources through the Foundation for Jewish Camp and One Happy Camper.

If you have any questions please call the Federation office at 845-471-9811 or email admin@jewishdutchess.org.

Applications must provide complete information for scholarship consideration.

*Please kindly note, preferences will be given to first time applicants and the award amount is dependent upon the JFedDC Annual Campaign results.  
Submission for this application is May 31.
