Financial aid
The Jewish Federation of Edmonton helps ensure that nobody is denied Jewish experiences due to financial difficulty.
The Integrated Bursary Program (IBP) was created to make the process of applying for a bursary more dignified, anonymous, effective and fair. All the schools, programs and services covered by bursaries are on one application form, meaning the process is done one time for the entire year for all family members.
It is the Jewish Federation of Edmonton’s policy that families and individuals needing a bursary be accommodated if at all possible. We are committed to the ideal that no member of the Jewish community be denied a Jewish educational, social, or cultural experience. Those families that do not have the financial resources to pay full fees will be considered for a bursary.
Deadline is May 10, 2024
