Scholarships for Summer Trips to Israel Awarded to 20 Westchester Teens

Twenty Westchester teens received Singer Scholarship Awards for summer programs in Israel on Wednesday, June 7, 2017, at UJA-Federation of New York’s White Plains office. The awards, funded by Fran and Saul Singer of White Plains and administered by UJA-Federation, help offset the cost of Israel programs for high school teens. The teens were nominated for these merit-based awards by their synagogues or a UJA-Federation network agency (such as a local Jewish community center) and were required to develop community service projects.
