The Center for Jewish Philanthropy is pleased to provide limited, need-based scholarships for Jewish children living in Maricopa County to attend Jewish summer camps in North America. Funding priority is given to overnight, immersive experiences.

Eligible campers must be entering grades K-12 in Fall 2023 and enrolled in a program hosted by a Jewish, nonprofit organization. Programs in Israel – even those sponsored by camps – are not eligible for this funding. Families must provide financial documentation of need to the CJP and typically, families with incomes over $250,000 will not be considered for this funding. Funding will be sent to the summer camp once the child has arrived, and the camp has confirmed attendance.

Campership grants are made possible by the generosity of the Molly Blank Fund of the Jewish Community Foundation, endowment funds established at the Jewish Community Foundation by Jack Bromfield and by the families of Labe Eric Targovnik, Kenneth Maltenfort, Jean and Harold Grossman, Gloria and Sidney Kasper, and by other generous donors to the Center for Jewish Philanthropy.

The Jewish Foundation of Greater New Haven awards needs based scholarships for Jewish overnight camps. Scholarships are awarded to Greater New Haven area residents on the basis of financial need.

The Rocker Family Overnight Camp Scholarship program seeks to enable campers from families with significant financial need, who may not have otherwise attended Jewish overnight camp, to be able to do so. Available for families in the catchment area of Jewish Federation of Greater MetroWest New Jersey (Essex, Morris, Union, Sussex, and parts of Somerset counties).

Applicants must be members of a synagogue, and planning to attend Camp Ramah Darom.  We use a service called the Private School Aid Service. They analyze all the financial data from the families and give them a list of all applications ranked in financial need with their award recommendations.

No matter how you live your Judaism, it often comes with a price: day school tuition, kosher food, temple membership, milestone events, summer camp, to name a few. We understand the stress and in an effort to help support and ensure your vibrant Jewish future, and that of our Los Angeles community, we would like to help.
