Funds

David Mindess Scholarship Fund

Gail H. Constant Memorial Scholarship Fund
The purpose of the fund is to provide an opportunity to award a $500 scholarship, on an annual basis to a deserving graduating senior in the TBA High School. The senior must be a member of a family in good standing with TBA and planning a study of art/design or fashion marketing. The Scholarship will be funded by the Constant Family 60 days prior to award.  The scholarship will continue until notified by the Constant Family or funds are not received by the 60-day pre-award period.

Mindy Steinberg Memorial Fund
To provide funds to help finance a trip to Israel for a Confirmation class graduate. Any student in the current Confirmation class whose parent is a member in good standing will be eligible. (Any student who has already visited Israel for a month or more should not be considered eligible.) Neither financial need nor length of temple membership will be decisive in the selection process. Through this fund, the temple will set aside $300 for each student, subject to sufficiency of funds. The student will be appraised on the basis of his/her Religious and Hebrew School experience, attitudes, achievements, leadership qualities and intellectual promise. Applications by students should include a self-appraisal, profile of their Jewish identity, and their reasons for wanting to travel and/or study in Israel.
