The College Search and Your Jewish Teen

Did you know your teen’s Jewishness might impact the college search? With opportunities to check a box next to “Jewish” on the SAT, recount their Bar or Bat Mitzvah project in an application essay, or get special scholarships, this Navigating Parenthood workshop hosted by JumpSpark and JewishGPS can help your family make informed decisions on the journey to choosing a school.
