The Integrated Bursary Program makes the process of applying for financial support for Jewish educational and social experiences more dignified, anonymous, effective, and fair. All the schools, programs, and services covered by bursaries are on one application form (available March 1, 2021), meaning the process is done one time for the entire year, for all family members. We believe that enabling families to participate in these experiences secures a bright future for Jewish Calgary, and we are grateful to Camp BB Riback, Halpern Akiva Academy, The Calgary Jewish Academy, and The Paperny Family Calgary JCC for partnering with us in IBP.
