Sephardic Scholars Program
Applications for this year's Sephardic Scholars Program are now available! Our future rests with the youth of our communities. To support the next generation and recognize the educational achievements of our youngest members, the Brotherhood established its Sephardic Scholarship Program to help them excel academically and ensure money will never be an obstacle to advancing an education. Each year, the Brotherhood's Scholarship Committee awards financial scholarships to High School, College, and Graduate Students around the country. These funds provide for students' tuition support and help ensure their academic success. Generations of members have been supported through these scholarships, many of whom have returned to endow specific awards within the Sephardic Scholars Program.
Applications for 2021 scholarships are now available. All applications must be received by March 19, 2021 and are only eligible for Brotherhood Members and their families. All applications must be emailed to
