Submit your transcripts: Official transcripts from all high schools and colleges you have attended must be submitted with your application.
Write a personal statement: The personal statement is an opportunity for you to tell the scholarship committee about yourself, your goals, and your involvement in Jewish life. Be sure to write a clear and concise statement that highlights your strengths and why you deserve the scholarship.
Submit letters of recommendation: Letters of recommendation from teachers, counselors, or other adults who can speak to your character and academic ability are required. Be sure to ask for letters from people who know you well and can provide a positive assessment of your qualifications.

Tips for a Successful Application

Start early: Don’t wait until the last minute to apply for scholarships. Give yourself plenty of time to gather all the required materials and write a strong application.
Proofread your application: Make sure your application is free of errors before you submit it. Have someone else proofread it for you if possible.
Be yourself: The scholarship committee wants to get to know the real you. Don’t try to be someone you’re not. Just be yourself and let your personality shine through.
