In addition to general scholarships, there are three designated scholarships available:

- The Judge Marvin Silverman Scholarship Fund is available to applicants accepted to or attending Law School.

- The Jacqueline Siegel-Frascella Athletic/Dance Scholarship is available to applicants who have already received a partial athletic/dance scholarship or merit award from an accredited college or university and maintained at least a C or above achievement, has financial need and can show involvement in the Jewish Community.

- The Ned F. Sinder Scholarship Fund (three awards annually of $4,000 each; renewable for a second year upon meeting additional criteria) is available to a home-schooled student or senior, anticipating graduation from a school or program, who may be planning to pursue a degree at an accredited U.S. post-secondary institution.
