JVS Scholarship Program

The JVS Scholarship Program provides qualified Jewish students whose primary residence is in Los Angeles with need-based financial aid, in the belief that education represents the first step to career success.

Since its founding in 1972, the JVS Scholarship Program has awarded nearly $6.5 million to over 4,000 students.  Recipients, who range from high school graduates to those entering new career paths later in life, have used our yearly scholarships, which range from $2,000 to $10,000, to study everything from visual art to psychology, dentistry to pharmacology, rabbinical studies to law and medicine.

They are committed to providing as much aid to qualified recipients as possible and encourage students to reapply each year they are in school, so that they may help you throughout your post-secondary education.
