THE CAPLAN-LIEBER HUMAN RELATIONS SCHOLARSHIP
For High School Students
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 2025 the Award was a $5,000 scholarship to the winning student.
That student’s school or organization also received a $500 scholarship.
Applications for the 2026 Caplan-Lieber Scholarship will open soon.
To apply, students must contact their school administrator or school counselor for an application.
School administrators can contact Center for Loving Kindness for an application, essay guidelines and nominee profile questionnaire.
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.
