Financial Aid Provided by the Conservative Yeshiva Through
the generosity of many friends of the Conservative Yeshiva, financial
aid is available (see below). Application for this assistance can be made
through the Yeshiva office. Year Program Scholarships MASA Scholarships for Long-Term Programs in Israel The MASA
scholarship program awards need-based scholarships to students aged 18-30
who plan to spend at least 5 months on an approved Israel program. The
Conservative Yeshiva year program is approved for MASA. MASA scholarship
applications are available from the Yeshiva or download directly online.
Note that MASA applications are filed through the Yeshiva, once an applicant
has been accepted to learn at the Yeshiva. We are pleased to announce three full-tuition scholarships for current/future campus Jewish professionals for the 5769 (2008-2009) school year. These scholarships will be awarded to incoming Yeshiva students who plan to work in KOACH, Hillel, or other Jewish campus organizations. The scholarship recipients must be recommended by Hillel or KOACH professionals and must commit to seeking work on campus upon their return from Israel. Candidates
will be considered on the basis of their record of campus activities and
organizing, experience in youth work and camping, and other relevant experience.
Applicants should have experience working with KOACH, Hillel, or another
campus Jewish organization, as staff or student leaders. If you already
have Stafford Loans, you may arrange to have your payments deferred while
you are studying at the CY. You must request a deferral form from your
lender and request the institution code from the CY. Your local federation may be able to provide you with financial help. Find out how to contact your local federation through United Jewish Communities. The Israel on Campus Coalition also has a listing of local federations that provide support for Israel study. Your synagogue, your family’s synagogue or your rabbi may be able to provide you with funds or suggested sources of funding. The Dorot Foundation offers yearlong scholarships for work and study in Israel. Their application deadline is usually in January. For more information, write to info@dorot.org. The Alisa Flatow Memorial Scholarship Fund is dedicated to the memory of Alisa Flatow, a 20-year-old student who was killed in a terrorist attack near the settlement of Kfar Darom on April 9, 1995. The Fund has been established to encourage others to follow in Alisa's footsteps by studying Judaism at schools in the State of Israel. Awards are based on a combined merit and need basis. The intention of the Fund is to aid those students showing academic promise in religious studies and the need for financial assistance to pursue study in Israel. The Amy Adina Schulman Memorial Scholarship Fund is dedicated to the memory of Amy Adina Schulman, a 20-year-old student who died suddenly of an aneurysm during her third year at Rutgers University. Amy Adina had a strong commitment to social justice and Israel. The Fund has been established to encourage others to pursue the ideals of egalitarianism, civil rights, peace, dialogue, love of Israel, among others, to which Amy Adina was committed. Awards are merit based; however, financial need is also a consideration. The intention of the Fund is to aid those applicants who demonstrate a strong personal commitment to bettering the lives of others. Ramah Israel Programs offers a limited number of work/study scholarships for one semester of study at the Conservative Yeshiva to students with extensive camp staff experience. To find out more about Ramah Israel's Lilmod Ulelamed program, email Dr. Joe Freedman at joe@ramah.org.il. Limited scholarship funds are available for residents of Cleveland, OH, Tulsa, OK, and Western Massachusetts. Contact the CY for details. Residents

Heritage Jewish Communal Scholarships are designed to provide a special
opportunity for professional and lay leaders of Jewish communities around
the world to further develop themselves! It is a program based on the
belief that a better knowledge of Hebrew and of Jewish text enhances each
of us as individual Jews and any community in which we are active, in
whatever capacity. Six Legacy Heritage Fellows meetings will provide participants
