Overview
Israel Experience Grants help Central Ohio Jewish teens aged 15-19, who live (or whose parents live) within JewishColumbus's Annual Campaign boundaries, take part in eligible Israel programs; grants are paid directly to the program provider. JewishColumbus has sent nearly 700 teens and young adults to Israel since 2005. Families may combine the grant with RootOne vouchers of up to $3,000 (a separate program).
How to Apply
Apply online (Wufoo form) after the teen is accepted and registered for an eligible program, at least two months before the program start date. Questions: Bonnie Cram, Community Investment Specialist.
