Shay Scholarship
Several years ago, Katz Yeshiva High School of South Florida received a gift from Susan and Scott Shay to create the Shay Scholars Endowment Fund. It awards several students who attended public or private middle schools a four-year merit-based partial scholarship to attend KYHS. Scott Shay's first experience in Jewish day school was in his high school years, and he and his wife are committed to encouraging students and their parents to "make the jump" to day school from public to private schools. A similar scholarship has been created at two other yeshiva high schools nationwide.
Students are selected based on their interest in academic and religious growth and their ability to handle the challenging dual-curriculum program. Students currently attending public or private non-Jewish day schools who are interested in applying should write a 250-word essay on why they would like to attend a Jewish day school and should email it to Executive Director Shimmie Kaminetsky at [email protected].
