JFEW awards and administers scholarship programs in partnership with schools and nonprofits. Individual students may not apply directly for funds from the Foundation. JFEW programs support cohorts of women, and often include enrichment opportunities, such as professional development workshops and summer internships. JFEW partners share our commitment to helping aspiring women achieve their educational goals and dreams.

For Schools or Nonprofits

If you are interested in applying for a grant, please check our partner requirements and application procedures.

If you are a current grantee of JFEW’s, please check our regular reporting and renewal requirements.

For Individuals

If you are seeking a scholarship, you must apply through one of the schools where we have a program. To find out about our programs, see JFEW in Your School. Our page of Scholarship and Career Resources has additional information related to financing your education.

If you are currently receiving a JFEW scholarship, your school’s financial aid office or academic advisor will let you know the ongoing eligibility requirements of the scholarship program, and the information you need to renew your scholarship. Be sure to create a profile through JFEWConnect so that we can keep you informed of opportunities for recipients and alumnae. To read about other recipients and alumnae, see Testimonials and past issues of our Newsletter.

Through the generosity of donors, JFEW has limited funds available for one-time grants. Community organizations and faculty may nominate students in May for the upcoming academic year. For nominating information, contact us.
