Scholarships
Beit Oleh America Netanya AACI is very proud to be the administrator of four scholarship funds.
Zvi and Rose Sabath Memorial Fund was established to aid needy IDF graduates to obtain a higher education. Although the Sabaths are no longer with us, their memory lives on in the mitzvah this fund provides.
Geraldine Bork Memorial Fund for needy and deserving students earning degrees in engineering and technical fields.
Judith Fink Memorial Fund was set up by the Fink family in memory of their daughter. It grants financial assistance to talented students wishing to study music or the arts.
Bessie Render Memorial Fund benefits deserving elementary, junior and high school students. During the last few years, the Fund has also helped local schools finance special projects.
The Scholarship Committee takes its responsibility very seriously and members thoroughly review all applications. For the year 2011-2012 fourteen scholarships of NIS 1,000 were awarded to students who are children or grandchildren of AACI members. In addition the Bessie Render fund will be giving NIS 6552 to local community centers to help subsidize the cost of summer camps for needy children.
The committee realizes that many AACI members struggle to put their children through college and only applications from current AACI members will be accepted. Scholarships are for academically recognized first degrees only. The scholarships are not for Masters or pre-academic studies. Scholarship forms for AACI members will be available from the beginning of July and they must be submitted to the Scholarship Committee by September 15. To receive a scholarship form, please send a stamped self-addressed envelope with a photocopy of your AACI membership card to Scholarships, Beit Oleh America, POB 2517, Netanya 42122
