Joseph S. Kaplan Memorial Scholarship Award
Rita Sason, Jewish Family & Children's Service Director, Jewish Federation of Ocean County, NJ is the 2014 recipient of the Joseph S. Kaplan Memorial Scholarship Award. The scholarship includes a $1,000 travel stipend plus one half of conference registration.
AJFCA is proud to offer the Joseph S. Kaplan Memorial Scholarship stipend to send one professional or lay leader from one D or E sized member agency to the 2014 AJFCA Annual Conference in Montreal.

Joe loved the energy and opportunities present at the annual conference and he was particularly concerned about including as many of our member communities as possible.
