Scholarships and Internships

 

The Jewish Federation of Greater Indianapolis is proud to offer a variety of scholarships, from academic scholarships for college-bound and graduate students,
to summer camp scholarships, to scholarships to help teens and young adults travel to Israel.

 

The Federation also offers internships to students who have completed at least one year of college.
Interns will spend the summer working in the Jewish community at one of our agencies. Individual internships focus on different skill sets and areas of interest. 
 

These scholarships are made possible through endowment funds. If you would like to help to fund one of our scholarship programs, contact Josh Lodolo at 317-715-9266 or jlodolo@jfgi.org​.
