About the Nicholas Cleves Scholarship

Yahel is proud to offer the Nicholas Cleves Scholarship to offer extra funding to Yahel fellows who may not qualify for a Masa grant. Nicholas Cleves was a dear friend of a Yahel alumnus. The work carried out by participants of the Yahel Social Change Fellowship deeply reflect the values Nicholas lived by and wanted to bring to this world. As such, this scholarship was created as a way to expand opportunities for young adults to become change makers and create the kind of positive impact on their communities that Nicholas hoped for and believed in. A separate application for this scholarship is included in the standard application for the Yahel Social Change Fellowship.
