<p style="background: white;"><span style="font-size: 11.0pt; font-family: 'Calibri',sans-serif;">I wanted to let you know that we've made limited scholarships available for students who want to attend our upcoming weekend program <a id="LPlnk19279" title="http://www.yiddishbookcenter.org/events/16/04/weekend-course-i-l-peretz

Peretz: Classic and Contemporary</span></a>, taught by Ruth Wisse and Smith's Justin Cammy. Currently enrolled undergraduate or graduate students are eligible to apply for a scholarship that will cover the entire cost of the weekend (lectures, meals, and events, though not accommodations). <!-- o ignored --></span></p>

<p style="background: white;"><span style="font-size: 11.0pt; font-family: 'Calibri',sans-serif;">These programs often sell out (Yiddish Book Center members pay $300 to participate, and even then we don't entirely recoup our costs), but we want to make sure that students can participate. <!-- o ignored --></span></p>

<p style="background: white;"><span style="font-size: 11.0pt; font-family: 'Calibri',sans-serif;">In order to apply, students should simply email Lesley Yalen at <a href="mailto:lyalen@yiddishbookcenter.org"><span style="color: windowtext;">lyalen@yiddishbookcenter.org</span></a> with a brief (150-300 words) description of where they go to school, what year they are, what they are studying, and why they would like to attend this program. We want to know how this program would contribute to their course of study.<!-- o ignored --></span></p>

<p style="background: white;"><span style="font-size: 11.0pt; font-family: 'Calibri',sans-serif;">We’re really happy to be able to offer a few scholarships, and we hope you will share this information with any students who might be interested. Registration for the program may fill fast, and we can only consider students’ applications as long as we continue to have space available—so they should apply soon.<!-- o ignored --></span></p>
