The Ramah College Network provides resources to help Ramah campers and staff in high school learn about different colleges by putting them in touch with other Ramah alumni to ask them questions and hear about their college experiences first-hand.

The National Ramah Commission has compiled a database of over 1,000 Ramah alumni at more than 200 colleges and universities who would be happy to speak to prospective students about their college experiences.

Current College Students: Tell us about your college experience on the Ramah College Network Survey.  

Once Ramah alumni enter college, the Ramah College Network is a great way to find other students on campus. In addition, the National Ramah Commission provides current college students with grants to host Ramah programs on campus.

Questions? Contact Alana Tilman, National Ramah Program Director.

Ramah California alumni at Emory University

Are you a Ramahnik in college? The National Ramah Commission can provide you with a grant to host a Ramah program on campus!

These programs might include: planning a Ramah Shabbat dinner and limmud; inviting a speaker to talk about North American Jewry; combating anti-Semitism/anti-Israel activism on campus; hosting a spirited seudah shlishit with Ramah shira; or running a service project. These are just a few suggestions. Be creative and dream away! Ramah encourages partnerships with Hillel when available.

Qualifying applicants will receive a grant of up to $500 to implement their project.  

Email Alana Tilman to inquire about possible funding and assistance.
