"#YeshivaUniversity is launching a new national #scholarship program for #Jewish #highschools, offering free four-year #tuition for one student from each school annually, through a $37 million #endowment from the #Gruen family, the #university told eJewishPhilanthropy ahead of the program’s announcement on Wednesday.
The goal of the Gruen Fellows Program is three-fold: reducing the cost of a Jewish #education for recipients, building a leadership pipeline for #Orthodox teenagers and creating a network of #Jewishhighschools “committed to #Torah #learning and leadership.”
Beginning in March, “mission-aligned” Jewish #dayschools will nominate one ninth-grade #student who “exemplifies academic excellence, Torah values and leadership potential.” If selected, the student earns a full scholarship for their high school tuition, amounting to tens of thousands of dollars and, in some cases, far exceeding $100,000."
