All Jewish teens are welcomed on our programs and are eligible for the voucher, regardless of prior BBYO involvement.
Eligible voucher applicants are currently enrolled in 9th through 11th grade, are Jewish, and are citizens of the United States or Canada. Voucher eligibility is NOT connected to financial need or merit. Additionally, applicants must be in good standing with BBYO, cannot be on probation, and/or cannot owe any funds to BBYO.
Once registration opens and the voucher applications are available, we typically expect notifications to be sent within 14 days of receiving your completed registration and voucher application.
Voucher recipients must agree to take part in pre- and post-summer engagement programming (~4 hours total) as well as complete a post-program confidential survey. Non-fulfillment of these obligations and/or removal from the program due to a Code of Conduct violation will necessitate repayment of the $3,000 voucher to BBYO.
