HAROLD & JEAN GROSSMAN
TEEN ISRAEL EXPERIENCE SCHOLARSHIP FUND

The Harold & Jean Grossman Teen Israel Experience Incentive Grant was made possible through a generous endowment established by the Grossman's to encourage Phoenix teens to participate in an Israel Experience Program of at least a three-week duration.  Phoenix area teens are eligible for the grants if they live in the area served by the Jewish Federation and are between 15 and 18 years of age.

To-date, the Fund has helped over 500 local teenagers visit Israel and encounter firsthand the everyday reality and eternal spirituality of the Jewish state.

There are numerous eligible programs available including:
o Teen Summer Programs
o High-school Academic Programs
o Volunteer Programs

Information about these trips can be obtained through the Israel Center or the Bureau of Jewish Education (BJE). An Israel Programs Fair, sponsored by the Federation and the BJE is also held every January.
