Jewish Culture
We celebrate Jewish cultural activities with all College residents. Jewish residents are invited each term for a Friday dinner with the Head of College and further invitations for Shabbat and festivals are arranged for Jewish residents on request through the Shalom College office, AEPi and AUJS.
Jewish bursaries and cultural scholarships
Jewish bursaries and cultural scholarships support the Jewish culture of the College and provide subsidies for College fees.
- The annual bursaries are for Jewish students in financial need. An assessment of financial need is done in conjunction with Jewish Care.
- The cultural scholarships are for college residents who are committed to supporting Jewish culture within Shalom College. The subsidy is an annual $2000 reduction in College fees.
