Scholarship Application

Thank you for applying for financial assistance/scholarship here at the Tucson JCC. It is our philosophy that nobody should miss out on participating at the J due to their personal financial situation, which is why we offer financial assistance/scholarship to those who qualify. We understand that asking for assistance is a difficult thing to do, so we pride ourselves on our discretion and ensuring privacy for all of our members. Please know your application will not be shared beyond the small group directly related to the review process. If you have any questions, please contact Monica Rosenbaum, director or member relations, at mrosenbaum@tucsonjcc.org or (520) 615.5428.
