Wendy and Avron B. Fogelman Jewish Family Service (Fogelman JFS) at the Memphis Jewish Community Center is now accepting applications for the Bernstein Scholarship Fund.

In 2001, Nate and Minnie Bernstein set up the scholarship fund to assist Jewish students with educational expenses. Fogelman JFS has been administering the fund since its inception.

Once again there will be an open enrollment period beginning January 1 and ending March 31, 2026, during which time Fogelman JFS will be accepting applications for the fund.

If selected, recipients will be notified in May of the amount of their award and the awards will be paid to the applicant’s identified school. To be eligible, applicants must be Jewish and must reside in the Memphis area. Also, the funds must be used for educational expenses, and recipients of other scholarship funds administered by Jewish Community Partners are ineligible for this fund.

All disbursement checks will be made out to the educational institution that the student will be attending.
