ATZUM is pleased to announce acceptance of applications for the Abe and Gert Nutkis Scholarship.

The Abe and Gert Nutkis Scholarship seeks to enable high-school graduates and other young adults to study full-time for an entire academic year in Israel. Recipients will receive up to $5,000 for study in a co-educational institution committed to Zionist engagement while volunteering a minimum of four hours a week with ATZUM or an organization approved by ATZUM. Priority will be given to applicants with financial need and those who have little or no previous experience in Israel.

Past recipients have lived in Tel Aviv, Jerusalem, and throughout Israel. Their study has concentrated on a wide range of areas in the arts and sciences including traditional Jewish text learning.

The application can be found here.

Application deadline: March 15, 2014
