HILLEL at the University of Washington
We are pleased to inform you of the partial tuition, need-based scholarships that are available for Jewish undergraduates attending the University of Washington during the 2015-2016 academic year. The Berol-Shindell Scholarship has been established at the Hillel Foundation for Jewish Life at the University of Washington. This scholarship was created because Mr. Berol was forced to forego his studies at the University of Washington to help provide for his family’s welfare. The scholarships are, therefore, being offered to undergraduate Jewish students in financial need who plan to attend, or are currently attending, the University of Washington.

The criteria for the scholarship are straightforward. The student needs to be a senior who played football during his senior year at one of the schools that our association services. It is not necessary that they be one of the star players on the team.
