Garmo Scholarship
The Garmo Scholarship Fund is a merit-based scholarship opportunity for young adults which will provide up to 100% of the necessary funding for one young adult to spend a year in Israel. Applicants must plan to spend the year in Israel studying at a secular institution that is part of any undergraduate or graduate degree program. There is no age limit, and the successful applicant may apply for a second year of funding upon completion of one year of study.
Applicants should apply through the Jewish Federation of Greater Seattle by January 31, 2010, and will be considered for the Garmo Scholarship as well as for funding through the Federation. Applications can be found at www.JewishInSeattle.org/Israel (click on the "scholarship" link at the left-hand column).
If you have any questions, contact Rachel Schachter, Israel Programs Manager at the Jewish Federation of Greater Seattle.
