BBYO makes every effort possible to ensure that no participant is unable to attend due to financial reasons. Several scholarships are available for summer experiences for teens who qualify. Plus, BBYO is not the only place you can apply for a summer experience scholarship. Toronto's Jewish community is an excellent resource for you as well! A little time and effort on your part can make a big difference when it comes to your summer plans, and we'd love to help!
