Jewish Community Services is offering several scholarships for eligible students graduating from high school this year.

Grants are available for Jewish students from the Baltimore Metro area from single-parent homes for assistance in pursuing higher education at an accredited U.S. college or university. 

In addition, JCS offers one scholarship to a Jewish student with documented diagnosed learning disabilities, whether the student is from a two-parent or a single-parent family.  This award is for assistance in pursuing vocational, trade or college education. 

Recipients for both categories of scholarships are chosen based upon financial need, academic performance, community and school involvement, and letters of recommendation. 

For both categories of awards, the firm application deadline is March 15, 2013.  Qualified students are encouraged to apply for one of these grants.   For an application, please call 410-466-9200 or visit www.jcsbaltimore.org/jcs-scholarship-program
