Grants and Scholarships

JTeen is committed to strengthening and expanding the Jewish teen ecosystem in Atlanta by supporting programs and providing direct financial assistance to help teens engage and thrive Jewishly.

Grants are available to organizations that serve Jewish youth, helping to deepen existing programs and broaden the range of opportunities available.

Teen Scholarships offer financial support directly to Jewish teens in Atlanta, ages 13–18, to attend Jewish events and programs—locally or nationally. Scholarships can cover up to 50% of the program cost (up to $500), with an additional $100 subsidy for first-time participants.

Applications are accepted on a rolling basis and must be submitted before registering for the program. Teens may receive one scholarship per school year. Once approved, JTeen provides a discount code for registration.

The Teen Scholarship application opens August 1st. Contact Annie Garrett, Senior VP of Planning, at agarrett@jewishatlanta.org if you have questions.
