THE TISILA SCHOLARSHIP @ UW-MADISON

An undeniable impact...

The Tisila Scholarship pilot program at University of Wisconsin-Madison was a huge success! Our innovative application simplified the process for students applying and streamlined the review process for Tisila’s Selection Committee to choose the best recipients. For our first year, 5 Jewish students in need were selected.

In addition to receiving financial aid, access to free tutoring & academic coaching, recipients were given valuable resources to develop leadership initiatives tailored to their specific interests. With help from our partners, Tisila empowered these students to make a significant impact on the Jewish community in multiple ways. This opportunity directly increased their Jewish engagement on campus and taught them critical skills to be used for future careers. Following the 8-week leadership portion, the entire cohort expressed a strong desire to continue being Jewish leaders as a direct result of The Tisila Scholarship!

Overcoming unique challenges

The rise of antisemitism at UW-Madison made campus life for Jewish students extremely difficult. However, it made The Tisila Scholarship even more important. Through supporting students with their specific needs, Tisila eliminated barriers and paved the way for a better & brighter future!
