Attention, college and graduate students! The Foundation of the Greater Miami Jewish Federation wants to help fund your education. Jewish undergraduate and graduate students in need of financial assistance can receive help through the Sylvia Tuman Scholarship Program. The deadline has been extended to Friday, May 31, and applications are still being accepted. To be eligible, students must be enrolled or accepted in an accredited undergraduate or graduate degree program at a college or university in Miami-Dade or Broward counties. Last year, 29 undergraduate and graduate students received tuition assistance through Tuman. Since the program’s inception in 2016, more than $180,000 in financial assistance has been awarded.
