What do our applicants and recipients have to say about their experiences and opportunities made possible by the Susan Murray Youth Scholarship Fund? These teens are grateful for the monetary assistance given by scholarship dollars. It allows them to be active in their communities with other Jewish teens, both locally, nationally and even internationally. From local summer camp opportunities, to lobbying on Capitol Hill, to a semester in Israel and the International Maccabi Youth Games, the scholarship funds help make these experiences possible for teens in our community.
