JFEW is a nonsectarian, private foundation. We work with nonprofit and academic partners to award and administer our scholarships. To qualify for a JFEW scholarship, you must attend one of the colleges or universities where we have a program, or be recommended by one of our nonprofit partners.

If you are an individual seeking a scholarship, see JFEW in Your School to determine if we have a program at the school you are attending, or plan to attend.

If you represent a school or non-profit interested in creating a JFEW program, please review the instructions on Schools & Nonprofits.

JFEW invites all alumnae and current recipients to join our online community to learn about career, mentoring and volunteer opportunities through JFEWConnect.

For over 130 years, JFEW has supported and encouraged the education of women. You can click here to learn more about our distinguished history, make a donation to support our ongoing work, or join the mailing list to receive our newsletter.
