Financial Aid
Part of the mission of Interfaith Peace-Builders is to send as many people as possible to Israel/Palestine. In keeping with this mission we have established the Scott Kennedy Memorial Scholarship Fund for scholarship matching grants - money that we can contribute to delegate expenses to help with the cost of the delegation. We also have a fundraising packet to help prospective delegates raise money to cover their delegation expenses.
The Scott Kennedy Memorial Scholarship Fund: Interfaith Peace-Builders has limited scholarship money to help with delegation expenses. In granting scholarship money, IFPB prioritizes those who would not otherwise be able to join. We also make scholarship money available to people who diversify our delegations and broaden education and advocacy work in the US. We strive to organize delegations diverse in age, gender, sexual orientation, class, ethnic identity, religious belief, and racial background. Scholarships generally range between $250-$500 per person. To apply, we have a one-page supplement to our regular application.
Interfaith Peace-Builders is also excited to partner with Friends of Tent of Nations to offer a scholarship towards our delegation for those who wish to remain in Palestine/Israel afterwards and volunteer at Tent of Nations (the Nassar family farm). Those interested in this scholarship must commit to volunteering for a minimum of 2-weeks after the delegation and fill out a supplemental application form. For more information, please mark your interest on our general delegation application.
Supporting Your Fundraising Efforts: Because we know our scholarship money will only help so much, we also have developed a Fundraising Tips packet to give you ideas on how to raise much more yourself. We have had quite a few delegates raise between $1000-3500 using this packet and their own initiative.
