Berol-Shindell Scholarship
We are pleased to inform you of the partial tuition, need-based scholarships that are available for Jewish undergraduates attending the University of Washington. The Berol-Shindell Scholarship has been established at the Hillel Foundation for Jewish Life at the University of Washington.
This scholarship was created when Mr. Berol was forced to forego his studies at the University of Washington to help provide for his family’s welfare. The scholarships are, therefore, being offered to undergraduate Jewish students in financial need who plan to attend, or are currently attending, the University of Washington.
Applications are now closed for the 2025-2026 school year.
For more information, email info@hilleluw.org, call us at (206) 527-1997.
Hebrew Free Loan Association
Hebrew Free Loan Association (HFLA) of Washington State will now be offering Scholarships for Jewish students with demonstrated need. They will continue offering the Student Access Fund (SAF) interest-free, no fee loan as well.
Scholarships can be used by students pursuing higher education for bachelors, community college, vocational, or technical degrees while the SAF Loans may be used for any degree, including graduate degrees.
More information, including the application, can be found here.
Hillel International Scholarships
Hillel International’s mission is to enrich the lives of Jewish students so that they may enrich the Jewish people, and the world. One way in which Hillel fulfills this mission is by helping incoming freshmen and current college students pay for the cost of college.
Scholarships are open to students who identify as Jewish, who are attending or preparing to attend four-year colleges and universities in the U.S. and Canada, and meet the individual scholarship requirements. Learn more here.
