Szarvas Fellowships International Jewish Camp in Hungary

Eligibility

Applications are encouraged from all North American cities and from all Jewish cultural and religious backgrounds. The Fellowships are open to high school students who will be completing 10th or 11th grade. The applications deadline is March 3, 2008.

Dates

Two groups of Fellows will travel to Hungary this summer. The dates of the trips for 2008 are:

Session 1: June 26th - July 11th
Session 2: July 24th - August 8th

Costs

The subsidized cost for the Szarvas Fellowships program, including camp fees, lodging, food, t-shirts, educational and administrative costs and transportation in Hungary is only $1,200. In addition, Fellows are also required to pay for round-trip airfare. There will be a group flight leaving from New York's JFK Airport to Budapest. Round-trip fare is estimated to be around $1000, and we will post a more exact price once it becomes available from the airlines. Fellows will also need to make their own arrangements to arrive in NY for the group flight.
