The JCC is proud to serve as an implementing partner of the Caplan-Lieber Human Relations Award of the Pittsburgh Area Jewish Committee Donor Advised Fund. The Award is presented to one high school student in Western Pennsylvania who has shown initiative and leadership in combating prejudice and fostering good relations between diverse groups within the school environment and/or community.
In 2024 the Award will be a $5,000 scholarship to the winning student.
That student’s school or organization also receives a $500 scholarship .
Our judges strongly consider the following:
• Student initiated programs in the school or community,
• Projects that address divisions in society based on race, color, age, sexual orientation, gender identity, class, religion, disability, sex, ancestry, national origin, bullying or other factors, and
• The engagement of others to combat prejudice and foster good relations between diverse groups within the school and/or community.
Applications for the 2024 Caplan-Lieber Scholarship are now closed.
Please check back in the fall for the 2025 Caplan-Lieber Scholarship application form, instructions and deadlines.
