WTBA and Brotherhood Scholarship Information

For the summer of 2024, Women of Temple Beth Ami (WTBA) and the TBA Brotherhood are excited to offer a limited number of scholarships for children to attend summer camp programs at either Temple Beth Ami (TBA) or a Union for Reform Judaism (URJ)-affiliated camp.

Please note that these are the only camps for which the scholarships are available. These scholarships are named in memory of Harriet Sturm, z”l, past-president of WTBA and life-long champion of the youth programs of Reform Judaism.

Due to budgetary constraints, please only request this scholarship if it would be a financial hardship on your family for your child to attend the camp without this monetary assistance. Grandchildren of WTBA and Brotherhood members, who also belong to TBA, will be given first consideration.

For more information please contact Judi Rosenzweig.

Scholarship applications can be found here.
