Jim Joseph and AVI CHAI Grants Assist Houston-area Families
The Federation distributed the scholarship funding in August in an effort to keep students registered in their early childhood and day school programs for the current school year. The flood placed an unexpected financial strain on many families who may have had to pull their children out of Jewish schools without the scholarship assistance.
Scholarship money was also awarded for children to attend overnight Jewish camp this past summer. This enabled children who were not previously signed up to attend camp while their families were getting their lives back in order.
