For students with Jewish Heritage/Background

National opportunities. There aren't very many scholarship opportunities that are open to Jewish students across the United States, and most of these have requirements other than simply a Jewish background. Here are a few available national scholarships.

       * Morris J. and Betty Kaplun Foundation Essay Contest. This essay contest is for middle and high school students, and involves writing a 250-1500 word essay on a given topic related to Judaism. Awards are between $750 - $1800. For more information, contact the foundation at P.O. Box 234428, Great Neck, New York 11023.
       * The Jewish War Veterans of the United States of America. This organization offers three scholarships to high school seniors who are direct descendants of members. Awards range from $500-$1000. To qualify, students need to be accepted to an accredited college or university, in the top 25% of their class, and active in extracurricular activities and the Jewish community. For more information, call 202-265-6280.
       * Alisa Flatow Memorial Scholarship. This scholarship fund was created in memory of a young woman who was killed in a terrorist attack while studying in Israel. Annual awards are given to students who are not currently in Israel but who plan to study there. Preference is given to students of religious studies. For more information, call 973-736-3200.
